So I tried starting the kh500 after sitting in my garage.further investigation realized I have no spark in all three.
I disassembled the kill switch,it looked fine.
Ground from frame to motor looked good.
The three fuses looked good.the A and B boxes were refurbishing by Lakeland services a few years ago so I'm sure those are good.
Not that great with electrical problems.I have been looking into the resource page for possible solutions/tests.
Any thoughts and or guidance is always greatly appreciated.

-Be sure the motor has ground wire to the frame.
-Unplug the blk/wht wire to the CDI (disables kill sw)
-Measure resistance of pickups
-Measure resistance of Ign Winding
Use http://kawatriple.com/cdih1.jpg as reference for values

It's most likely a connection in your wiring.
