dumb question

[ISBB]

OK judging by my logic might be fine might not be.. However..

Does the mounting spots for the coil need to be ground down to bare metal for grounding reasons? or will just bolting them back into the holes be suffice? I am thinking about taking a dremel and grinding a small spot of the fresh paint off so there is somethign to ground too...

[sabreguy]

It is best to get down to bare metal and not just rely on the bolts for contact

yup

If I had a dollar for every time a dude asked... " Hey , I painted my bike, and now it wont start", I'd be a rich man...

Wait, I am a rich man...

i ground off all the paint around the coil after i painted my shit. i also put loctite on the coil bolts

[ISBB]

Thats what i thought.. I just wanted to be sure before i went sanding away at my fresh paint job.. I guess i will be doing that tomorrow night when i get back to work on it.

I maybe retentive, but I grind the paint off the frame and then use diaezo paste to keep the bare metal (steel frames) from rusting and get a good electrical connection.

ya you should put electric grease on all ground and eletric contact points
