Hey guys.  I just bought my first dirt bike, a '90 KTM EXC 300 a couple of weeks ago.  Haven't had time to mess with it much since.  When I first saw it, it was on a trailer, it was about 5?F out but I was able to eventually kick it over and get it to run.  I ran is briefly once after that in the drive way.  Tearing up some snow, but it died after a couple of minutes.  I think it ran out of gas.  I decided to put it away for the night after that.

Last night I was trying to start 'er up again but to no avail.  I ended up pulling the tank, to get to the plug.  I've found that the spark is very weak.  It'll spark once or twice and then nothing.  It appears that somebody before me has been in there disconnecting some wires (head/tail lights).  I'm not sure how that affects the bike (shouldn't right?).

I was told that the bike was in good running order, and I have seen it run just fine last time I was playing with it.  Any ideas?  what should I look for?

Thanks ahead of time.

Matt
