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.
