yea, i listed the xs1b and it sold in less than 5 minutes and the guy is buying the other one too

well, i guess i was wrong, i got 3000 for the pair on ebay, thanks for the help guys.

I traded something that was worth 1500$ I'd love to get twice that, but it looks more like I'll loose a little. Anyone here interested in them?

hmm, i think your right, i guess i should look at the titles. Im think im just going to sell them, im already tired of messing with it. I know the yellow one is a 1971 sx1b. im going to put them up for sale and see what i can get for them like they are. i already ordered another new solenoid and...

Ok, so I got spark on the left side, right side I think the black coil? Is bad, points look great, only thing I'm concerned about is the center of the points which I believe is the cam wobbles a little and makes the points contacts close every turn

Ok, so I jumped the coil to 12v sprayed starter fluid in carb openings, turned over for about 10 seconds and it fired up and ran great as long as I pumped starter fluid in it, after a minute of run time it died, now no spark... agh! What do I need to check? Put new plugs checked spark plug wires...

i knew that would get some interest, everything is for sale, i dont even know what its worth, but would be willing to let it go

ok, what im saying is the diagram really only shows 3 wires, the ground is thru the bolt on one of the corners it grounds to the fram, mine has 4 wires, incoming 12 volts, starter wire, red wire for power to accessories and then black to starter, this diagram doesnt show my solenoid

yes sir, thats my next project! i fi can get the red one running and sold im going to move on to the gold one, unless i can find a buyer the way she sits

thx for the diagram, however my starter solenoid has 4 wires, main power in, power to starter, starter trip wire and power to accessories, the diagrm only shows a 3 wire setup mine is 4

when you press the button to start there is no voltage on the starter side of the solenoid, no clicking sound no nothing, im guessing the solenoid i got is good enough to power the accessories through the 12v accessory wire but wont flip to start the bike. Next question when i depress the...

i just took on trade a couple 70's xs650's. The one im messing with now is a 73. here what i have done thus far. Hooked up 12v battery and it had no power anywhere, discovered the solenoid is bad, had power coming in but wasn't putting out power to the gauges, lights, etc. Replaced it, now i...
