well Ive just started having this problem, battery is fully charged, got gas and it cranks but wont start. My NSswitch is working. I had it started today actually and it ran for a bit, then it started raining and I shut it off and after taking 1/2hr break went outside again to start it without luck. Ive got MSD blaster 2 coil, mallory hi=fire digital box, new Moroso plug wires. It just wont fire, im lost. Im not good with electronics too so Im out of luck.

Did you check for a spark? The auto stores have a plug that looks like a spark plug but has a clip on the side that goes to ground, you hook one wire up and then crank it over and see if its firing. If its not check if you have a loose wire or a bad ground. I know there is a way to check the msd boxes but not sure about Mallory, I think there is a # you can call. Once in a while the pick up coil in the dist. goes bad, not as often as points but they do break down .Sounds like a good set up, wish I could be more helpful.

What distribuitor you have ? Is very tipical sympthom (sp ?) get oftenly running engine but as far you have throtles opened, and once you try to get back at idle then engine stops. That is a very tipical pick up coil bad function.

About same related fail, is also very tipical dist pick up coil plug loosen or bad contacting.

Check for spark...and make sure it's a nice big spark, not a short wimpy one.
If there's no spark, check your connections & make sure everything's tight, and that there's no signs of moisture in them. Make sure you've got power to the HyFire with your key on.

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

check the plug at the dist , also pull the dist cap & check the gap between the pick up & reluctor , it should be .008 , also check for moisture under the cap

Rubber L shaped plug with male and female bullet kind terminals... is the plug with the two wires that enter in to dist.

Ive figured out with FastbackJon's help that I had bad contact somewhere (most likely) so Mallory box wasnt getting juice and thats why it wouldnt start
