    Anyone seen that F*&%ing Gremlin? POOF! No spark! - PAMCO, E-Advance, PMA

    Thank you all for the input. Coil tested 2.5ohm between terminals, open circuit to core and plug wire terminal. 18k ohm from cap to cap. Im curious though on how certain ohm-rated coils effect the electrical system? For example running 1ohm or 5ohm coils. XSCHARGE brand PMA Kit PMA, PAMCO...

    Anyone seen that F*&%ing Gremlin? POOF! No spark! - PAMCO, E-Advance, PMA

    BIKE CYCLE 79 XS - PMA, PAMCO, E-Advance, Capacitor/kick-only. All tuned for over a month. TDC, Cam-tension, Valves, Carbs. Ran perfect, smooth in all ranges, 100mph+ capable. BACKSTORY I havent been this stuck for years... Went for a 1hr highway cruise and POP! No spark. WHATS BEEN DONE...

    PMA/PAMCO - Sponanteous Bog with throttle - Idles fine

    Problem solved. As usual, I feared the worse and I spent some money replacing parts, yet it was something simple. I have two separate ground locations, I replaced all the leads on the main ground, however the the ground connecting my capacitor/horn/headlight was loose. I had messed with it...

    PMA/PAMCO - Sponanteous Bog with throttle - Idles fine

    I ended up just ordering new PAMCO, due to missing a few parts to get the points working. (cam rod metal bushing thingy and condensers) I'm going to keep this updated as I figure it all out. I've never had an issue this elusive. Drained the oil to check for any clogs. -Checked side filter and...

    PMA/PAMCO - Sponanteous Bog with throttle - Idles fine

    Well, things got expensive today. I got excited and rigged up the battery to the PAMCO wires, I was trying to focus on not contacting the positive lead to the frame and I believe I connected the ground lead to the other positive on the lithium battery (which has 4 posts with their labels lightly...

    PMA/PAMCO - Sponanteous Bog with throttle - Idles fine

    I'll have to get the girl to help me record. I tried the battery test again, however this time I disconnected the the ground from the reg/rec and it still dies. Before I pulled the wire I was watching the voltage on the battery and it didn't look as if it was charging, stayed at 13.6. Around in...

    Yeah, it died, unless I should disconnect it from the reg/rec instead if between stator-reg?

    PMA/PAMCO - Sponanteous Bog with throttle - Idles fine

    I pulled the flywheel/rotor off and everything checked out, no signs of rubbing. I'm getting a .9ohm reading between wire terminals. The charge on my capacitor at idle bounces from 13.6-13.8. I'm so lost. One other symptom, I'm getting a hanging/hovering idle when I twist throttle and when I...

    PMA/PAMCO - Sponanteous Bog with throttle - Idles fine

    It looks like I have the PMA from mikesxs. I'm hoping I can get it off with a puller from advance auto or harbor freight. Its 80 deg out, I wanna ride!

    PMA/PAMCO - Sponanteous Bog with throttle - Idles fine

    Retiredgentleman, I purchased the bike with the PMA 5 months ago. I believe the previous owner put it on but never rode it as the carbs were terribly out of sync when I got it. Now that you mention it, I thought I heard a winding down noise at one point. I suppose I'll need a puller to get the...

    I am Carbon, I hooked a battery up in place of the Sparx Capacitor. Connected the two positive leads from capacitor with a clipped wire and ran it to the battery as well as Ground lead to battery.

    I just realized the coils I tried swapping for we stock ones, not dual output. Could coils cause such an issue? They read 2.9ohms on wiring leads 23,400ohms between caps. If not coils, would I just have to put new springs on the advancer to get better "snap-back"? Or Pete's E-Advancer ;)

    Checked the timing, it's on mark.
