Thanks to all that offered assistance.......Although this site pales in comparison to many Honda and Car forums in general!!!


So she ends up with a New Cap, Rotor, Wires, Plugs, and Coil.....All for under $170

yeah, I get a kick out of people like that. They first come in asking for help,.. no wait demanding it since he posted several times after the first one. I guess he thinks we should be online 24-7 just waiting for him to ask his much needed question. Then when people give him advice whether he takes it or not, it turns out that is exactly what it was, he comes back with a smart @$$ remark like,.. " COIL.....(And to all those that said COIL, go ahead with the I told you So's, I deserve it) Thanks to all that offered assistance.......Although this site pales in comparison to many Honda and Car forums in general!!!"

Oh a simple thanks was not enough, he had to add the "but you guys are a bunch og dumb asses compared to others."


Addressed to ktm300exc:

Come on man, grow up. We are not here at your becking call. The world doesn't owe you anything. If you have a problem and ask for help take all the help you get and decide for yourself what to use. By puting others down like you did, you are just burning your bridges. Before you go putting a forum down,.. ask yourself what have you contributed to it,... absolutlely nothing! Good luck in life with an attitude like that, you will need it!

I know, a "I'm Sorry" is in order.....

There was no excuse for my behavior(Besides being driven crazy by a GF who wanted it FIXED), so I am sorry for my utterly rude and disrespectful behavior.....

if you would have diagnosed it properly the first time,, it would have costed you a lot less ,, that is the problem with a lot of people , start replacing parts then hope and pray that it will fix the problem.
.Like i always say DIAGNOSE,, DIAGNOSE DIAGNOSE....before wasting money on unneeded parts
