To Bbogie, tnsen, Woody, CrazyCroc, Tbirdnz and the rest...thank you for the input on finding and using the right socket...I finally got to check my plugs for the first time. The plugs looked perfect and the gap was dead on. Your feedback is much appreciated.
To Jim...to get the ignitor out...I just cheated and pulled the entire battery box. The ignition sensor tested at 600 ohms...which is just above the 10% leeway, but it checks out...what is that sensor that sits in the trough right next to where the ignition sensor wire comes out of the right hand side cover? Is it worth checking out? Are there any other sensors that could be causing the problem?
To Swedish Hedgehog...sidestand relay was disconnected two years ago and didn't make a bit of difference...thanks for mentioning it though.
*So today I threw the plugs and battery back in, rigged the aux fuel supply, and fired the bike up. I idled it on it's centerstand for a good 20 minutes and it didn't stall out...in the past it would usually stall in the first 10 minutes if left stationary. I'm not at all convinced that this means that the problem is solved.....I've gotten my hopes up soooo many times before and I don't see how anything I've done to the bike so far could clear up a problem that has been prevelant for near six years. Tomorrow I'll put the tank back on and hit the street, 'trying' to get it to stall just like it used to. I'll be back on in about 20 hours to say how it went, but my guess is that nothing will have changed. If it does stall, then the only thing left for me to try is replacing the Gill coils (which seem to be fine) and replacing the plugs (which seem to be fine.) Are there any other options other than that? Anything else that I haven't checked already? The test ride tomorrow will be the deciding factor. Stay tuned.....
