Just Bought a Used 1984 BMW R80RT

I loaded this video before the no spark video, but this one came out after that one. Anyway, picked this up yesterday at a fire sale price. It was running on one cylinder, I thought it was probably just a fouled spark plugs, but nope. Had no spark on the right cylinder. I go over that in the next video, or in this case the previous video, as it were.
Anyway, overall it was better looking than in the pictures I saw. The paint is excellent condition save for a few flaws here and there. But what can you expect from an original paint job from 38 years ago.
Overall, the tires still have the little nubs on them, fork oil was recently changed. Carbs were gone through years ago with all new gaskets, float needles and new diaphragms. The bike came with a manual, BMW 20/50 mineral oil, filters, braided front brake lines from BMW(still in the bag, I will change them when i flush the brake system), a few other things.
Bike only has 44k miles on it. No leaks anywhere.
As per my usual with bikes that are new to me, I go over them from front to back. Including valve adjustment, syncing carbs, lubing cables, performing idle drops on the carbs, torquing all fasteners, fluid changes, charging system inspection, and checking/setting the timing. Thi information is written down in a paper book that gets kept on my desk with what service was done, date and mileage, along with what products were used, what gaps you set the plugs at, or what you set valve lash at which location.
I am all for technology, but as far as that goes, I have paperback books with notes in them that are 40 years old or more. Any information I had saved on computers over the years has been lost for eternity due to crashes, etc. WRITE YOUR STUFF DOWN.

I will make a short video tomorrow of which wires do what. My manual doesn't have a clear idea of the wire colors. So. I pulled my tank today but we had severe ⛈. ARE you using stock coils and ignition system?
