We have two people dead in my back yard in the Seattle area. Word is the COVID 19 has been in our midst for six weeks and we didn't know it. Whole retirement homes are showing up infected. Everything is moving into sort of a panic response.

What we forget is: considering the incubation period, the s**t has already hit the fan, you just don't know it yet. Are there 2 asymptomatic people in your town right now, or is it 20? You won't know till the first people infected start showing symptoms. By then, how many other people will they have infected? For example: as I write this, I am sitting in my room in Valencia Spain. I have not looked recently, but as far as I know, there are no cases of COVID-19 here. But, the team and many fans just returned from the football match (soccer in the USA) in Italy (Milan, I believe, the city with a big red dot for infection rates). And, over the coming two weeks, we celebrate las Fallas, which will draw tourists from all over Europe, all crowding together in public squares to see the festiviites. Yup, petri dish for viruses. The football fans may provide the viral injection. As much as I will miss the opener at Qatar (well, actually, I've never liked the race under floodlights), I get it. Until we get a bit of a handle on this virus, we need to stop creating mass vectors. Achoo.

The battery is good and she does prime when I it click it to start. I changed the relays under the seat any way As I had them and they have failed in the past. I also put in fresh plugs just in case. The main and starter fuses are good but WTH I changed them any way. Fuel lines are tight and secure under the tank and the battery connections are clean and tight. I though I would ask for ideas of things to check as the only other thing I can think of is the hall effect sensor spacing..I have not check that yet though.. Any other ideas? The bike cranks but will not pop or bang even with ether starter fluid witch leave me to think it may be an ignition issue. Many thanks for your input..
