Thanks, Andy.  I appreciate the information. The bike had been sitting for a long time in fairly humid conditions so I was very worried about the electrical system.  I went through the trouble of checking, cleaning, tightening, and spraying every single electrical connection with WD-40 to displace any moisture.  I also replaced the sparkplug caps with new NGK red silicone caps.  It seems to have paid off.  
I hope to take it for the first ride (second heat cycle) very soon.
