So I saved a bike from going to the junk yard..... Isn't the greatest the idea but at least it's in one piece. I got it running after that I had to do a shifter pawl adjustment and detent clip. Than as I was going down the road the rear motor mount bolts broke from rust. I dropped the motor and couldn't easy out them so I had tig welded nuts to them and backed them out. I got it all back together and have no spark. The timing light isn't blinking either. I am not sure if it should while it cranks. Any help is appreciated thanks!
I had to drop my motor when I put it back in I lost spark

Check fuses first, check all grounds and plugs, timing pick up should always flash when triggered
Arc ignition is where its possible to mess up electronics.
Just re-read your statement. if the pickup and all the electronic goodies werent even connected it sounds like something might have just taken a crap after being jolted around during removal.

If you used a welder while electronics were still connected...you may've fried your electronics.
If you SAW a spark occurring at a ground strap...you may have fried your electronics.
Tighten all your grounds and double check everything electronic.

Jetlee I had the motor out when I did it. I fixed the problem there was a wire split. But now after a few minutes of riding the clutch cable gets really loose. I hear a lot of noise from the primary. I have to do a chain adjustment but would that cause the cable to loosen?
