Partzilla has it.

I've never bought or sold on here so I don't know how it works. Where did you send the payment and how much? As soon as I receive payment (i'm not gonna gripe over a couple of dollars) I'll send it, remember, the plugs, plug wires, and plug boots are not included. Send me a complete address...

SOLD Used Pamco ignition, Mikes XS Part #14-0914 (less plugs, plug wires, and plug boots) Ran about 700 miles then I decided to rephase and had to replace. How does $110.00 sound? (I'll pay shipping inside US and PayPal only).

Have put about 50 to 75 miles on a fresh top end of a '79. Did not replace rings and never took the pistons out of the sleeves. Bike had 17,000 miles but sleeves looked very good. I'm running pod filters with Mike's XS filters on the ends of the crankcase vent tubes. Problem is I'm getting a...

I'll check it out. Thanks

Newb here. I'm reading this thread trying to find the answer w/o asking. No luck. This is my first engine teardown on a '79, and am trying to remove the camshaft. I have removed the locknut but what in the %@&$ holds the advancer plate onto the camshaft? I've lightly tapped CCW in the hope it...
