no popping on throttle release

finally got my PMA and boyer elect. ignition installed on my chop and she pulls hard through gears 1 2 and 3 when I hit 4th she starts to lose her balls and 5th is sputtering bad especially on uphill climbs. I have tried 175 and 180 jets with no change. Elevation here is about 2000ft. I...

thanks for the offer Joe! ^^ I am gonna try to find a puller here locally but may hit you up. thanks again Josh

never pulled one so i am not sure what I can use . . . hence my thread!

I am swapping to the hughs PMA kit and I need to pull my rotor. Is there a way to do it without buying and waiting for mikesxs to ship the rotor puller? I dont care if I damage it as I believe it to be the problem;) THANKS! Josh

dude i am havin the same exact issue on my 79. charging system took a shit... new R/R.. new stator ... still no charging. probably rotor now. messed with it for 2 weeks. i have a PMA on the way from hugh. if this doesnt work the bike goes down a very steep hill out back;-) sucks!!!! like you...

red brush wire is under screw #2, not #1 like stock. You can also see it on the link peanut posted of the stator from mikes. The red wire jumps over screw #1 and is under screw #2. Green is under screw #3. brushes look identical to the pic you posted.

yes those are the parts I am using. can someone comment on my LOW AC readings on the 3 whites coming from stator? If my readings are low, then that means the stator is internally grounded and bad, correct??? I have had a friend who knows more about electrical than I do look at this a...

Sorry about starting a new thread, my bad. I have gone back and forth with the "tech" at mikes with no help at all. He couldnt even tell me where to connect the 2 brush wires from the stator since they are not the same color as stock stator. I am running reg/rec from mikes and the new...

slap test was good. a weird thing about grounding the green wire from the stator, my green wire tested battery voltage and so did the red wire. both coming from my new stator. the green should have nothing, correct? in ordrr to ground it? i should just bite the bullet and do the pma/pamco...

yes rotor is good

I have not been able to get my 79 xs to charge after the old stator took a shit. I bought a new one from mikes, wired it up and it will still not charge. I went through all of curly's charging system checks. I am finding a very low AC reading on the between the 3 white wires coming from the...

thanks for the good words fellas! Joe, I will probably sell this one and ride my chop on the EDR. Let me know if you are coming out. I live in the jump off point (temecula) and have plenty of room if you need a place to crash for a night or 2. josh

I live in socal so rain isn't really gonna be an issue so I cant comment on the tires in the rain. I have heard they are somewhat hard to handle on grooved pavement/highways. josh

the problem is there are probably only a handful of potential buyers in ga. everywhere else you need a title and if you dont have one they are a major pain to get. if you can i would suggest getting a title and you would probably sell pretty quick. i really like the way the tank sits on the...
