the coil i did not double check on, i just bought the cheapest one for the same year make and model stated in the tut, i believe it was for an 89' cavalier, i'll look into that and see which one, but my repairs are going to have to wait no one in denver seems to have the valve seals or cam...

haha no way I even took the magnetic pick up off its plate and place the two plates squarely on the ground, but thank you that's thinking of detail. I noticed hughs 220w pma has to have a micro battery and shouldn't use a cap, I'm using the 200w pma from mikesxs, and I used a cap for quite a...

oh yeah sorry about that I no longer have the points in, but before i pulled them the right point would break contact, and it was only about 45 degrees later the left would make contact, 90 degrees later breaking contact, so the coil would fire at 90 instead of 180, that was with the right at...

no but thanks for the reply, before I tore the top end apart the first time I was able to set the points just fine and after nothing, once I converted to Mr. Riggs toyota/gm 180 ignition I tack welded the parts to my timing plate so , its still reversible but I would have to scrap another back...

yes the "19$ junkyard" is a 180 degree wasted spark ignition while one cylinder is on combustion spark the opposite has a wasted spark during tdc exhaust, as to of course the stock 360 cam lobe

1979 xs650 mikesxs pma and reg/rec 19$ junkyard electronic ignition (was actually like 70$) http://xs650temp.proboards.com/thread/7899 this is a long tale I'll try to be quick sorry, 4 years ago i purchased this awesome bike, the bike ran well for a bit. solid state gave out replaced with...

I have a 1979 xs650 with a pma from mikesxs everything was running pretty well until i tried to reinstall the battery because i was looking for a smoother output than what the cap provides after reinstalling the battery it started running horrible with bad delay and choking long story trying a...
