Also worth noting if you email Boyer directly you can buy their unit directly from them and save a few bucks.

Pete got on here and told everyone that XSCHARGE is not his and Mikes is not selling REAL PAMCO from Pete.
I felt bad for the guy because he is one of the top people who really cared about XS650 and some other older bikes that needed electronic ignitions.
He was wrongfully knocked off and whoever did it was wrong to make a copy of his stuff and put it out there. Now the problem is going to be MIXED parts on the internet for sale. So if you want a PAMCO buy from Pete's site ONLY!!!
People always take the lazy way out on this stuff. My brother builds custom drag race four wheeler frames for a living. Sold one to a guy and all of a sudden exact knock offs with all of his one off designs started popping up. Enough different to claim it’s not a copy but anyone can see it is. It’s all but impossible to copy write this stuff. Good news is if you build and maintain a good reputation your own customers will point out the flaws in the knock off. Better news is the knock off guys usually don’t last long.Knockoffs now are all around. I got knocked off on my wire harness kits 6 months ago but I do it for fun not to put food on my table. Plus the best was they bought 5 harness kits from me before they knocked me off so I made money haha
I have the e-advancer built on the board with the pickup. If you go to my thread and start at post 317 it will explain everything I checked. http://www.xs650.com/threads/its-past-time-to-start-xs2-resurrection.53396/page-16Do you have 3 v on the green wire and 12 on the red on the side of the box closer to the Hall effect sensor side?
I bought mine directly from his website. No after sale support.people complaining about what they bought and it wasn’t his product

I hope so. I was going to put my points back in but really like how it ran with electronic ignition. I just ordered a Boyer. Should be here by Friday.They appear to be bomb proof
I had no problem getting mine. I'm having a problem with mine. If you read my thread you'll see I've tried contacting him several times and several different ways. Absolutely no help from Pete. It appears he has the time to ship units out but not the time to support units he has sold.I just got a Pamco from Pete yesterday. I ordered it 4/30. Got an e-mail saying he shipped 5/1, got 5/4.
I talked with Pete before I bought it to confirm a few things first. Used his E-mail listed on his ignition site. Responce was within minutes.
I got the New Ignition with the E-Advancer on the sensor plate, not blue box. It set here in front of me now. I just need to get out and install it. Been a bit cool here with the almost constant rain.
Being a one man show I imagine it's not easy to keep up with everything.

When i started trying to diag my PAMCO i ordered a coil and new blue e advance box directly from Pete. He has good diag procedures for these parts pre written (i found them after the fact). I have no complaints about shipping time or contact when i bought the parts. Both came within a week and i received a “shipped” email. He doesn’t have an auto email with tracking like many places but honestly buying from him was fine on my end. My only complaint was lack of response when i still had an issue. There is no diag procedure for the Hall effect sensor (IGBT) sensor that i could find anywhere. Mikesxs responded to my email but did not have a diag procedure either. The main thing i liked about the Boyer is you can buy each individual part separately should one portion fail. I could not find a way to buy just the PAMCO Hall effect sensor. This may be because Pete has a newer version out now.... hard to tell when he doesn’t respond to the question.
I honestly don’t think you will have an issue getting the unit. Lord willing it will work properly and you will be happily riding for years to come. Just pray you don’t have any issues lol.Just ordered a E-Advance unit from Pete's site Thur. (5/2) evening, guess I'll see how things shake out.
