What's up guys. I just purchased a 77' XS6-fiddy and I'm looking for a few pointers on the project. I have an idea on the design of it as it is already partially complete in that regard, but I just wanna get the motor up to snuff and ready to go back in the frame. I've been doing a lot of reading about the PAMCO ignitions and such, but I need it spelled out for me a little better. I prefer a black and white explanation. What all do you guys recommend doing to the ignition, charging, carbs, etc, before I get on the road of assembling this bike? I'm going to go with kick-start only, but I don't want my lights to dim or anything at idle. So with that said, should I run a small battery? Will a capacitor do ok? I'll be running a standard halogen tail lamp, but I'll be using LED pods from Rigid Industries for my headlights. I don't see myself using turn signals yet, but it's not totally ruled out. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few questions so I'll update as I remember them.
Thanks guys!
