Ok that clears that up thank you. One last question though. These two bolts on the ignition coil are they mounting bolts,and is it ok if the are grounded? Oh and how do I know which I left and right plugs off my ignition coil?

Does anyone have or can anyone show me a simple wiring diagram. My bike is kick only, no battery. I have a headlight and tail light but no turn signals I also have a PMA system with electronic advance a voltage regulator, and a capacitor. Ii know how to wire most of it but am in the dark with...

I forgot to mention everything electrical on the bike got tossed before I bought it.

Ok. So I stared digging through boxes and found some matching numbers so I'm good there. Thanks for the info on that guys. Now I just have electrical questions. I upgraded to a PMA charging system and got a Pamco ignition with forward advance. Do I need the factory harness to hook all that up?

Hey guys I'm new to the yamaha 650 scene and was wondering if I could get some pointers or help. I just recently picked up a 77 XS that has been hard tailed already. But that's it. It came with three incomplete engines and about 7 boxes of random and duplicate parts for it. I want to try and...
