Hey people make mistakes like not disconnecting electronics!!! I learned from my mistake and have to get the parts I messed up! You live and you learn lol

Like I said I ddont want any negative feedbaack

I think the title of the thread is negative feedback for Pete's business.. especially since we're not sure of the actual issue here

Lets get one thing straight. Pete's product was fantastic and exceeded my expectations! !! I will stand by his product. I made a mistake yes! and blew my pamco because I was rushing to have my first ride and didnt think!!! I am a NOOB to building and electronics!!! Sorry to frustrate some of you but the knowledge and know-how on this forum is far beyond mine so I thought idea post my problems.

3 pages and nothing constructive done.

Seems to be the norm with your threads :shrug:

stuter6912,

Here is a test procedure for the coil and PAMCO.

Testing the coil:

1. Using the lowest scale on the meter, measure the resistance between the primary terminals with the wires removed. Should read from 2.5 to 4.5 Ohms.
2. Using the highest scale on the meter, measure between one of the primary terminals and the center core of the coil. Should be infinite resistance. (open)
3. Measure between one of the primary terminals and one of the plug wire terminals. Should be infinite resistance. (open circuit)
4. Measure between one of the plug wire terminals and the core of the coil. Should be infinite resistance (open circuit)
5. Measure from one plug terminal to the other. Should be 15,000 to 20,000 Ohms

Testing the PAMCO

1. Use a voltmeter and check for battery voltage on each of the red/white wires with the key and kill switch are turned on.
2. The dual output coil has to have both spark plug wires connected to a spark plug at all times.
3. To test for spark, connect one of the spark plug wires to a spark plug that is grounded to the engine.

To test for spark without having to turn the engine over, do this procedure:
1. Remove the PAMCO rotor.
2. Remove the locating pin in the advance rod.
3. Reinstall the rotor, but without the pin.
4. Replace the nut holding the rotor on loosely. This will allow you to spin the rotor to produce a spark without having to turn the engine over.
5. Connect one of the spark plug wires to a spark plug that is grounded to the engine, but not installed in the engine.
6. Make sure that the other spark plug wire is connected to a spark plug in the engine.
7. Turn on the ignition switch and the kill switch.
8. Spin the rotor while looking at the gap in the spark plug for a spark.
9. Turn off the kill switch and the ignition switch.

So you did THIS (these) test(s) and there's no spark or you just turned the motor over and looked for spark at the plugs?

The reason you frustrate people is because you ask for help and advice and then do nothing with it. You said you did the tests, and then follow it up with a very basic reply of no spark. If you followed all of those steps and actually used a multimeter you would have gotten a lot more than something so basic as no spark. It sounds like you have a ton of extra money to blow because instead of testing each individual component to narrow it down you simply decide to replace the entire PAMCO. If it was something as simple as wires or coil you could have saved a ton of money and it would have taken maybe 20 minutes of your time to figure it out.

Its your bike, and your money so ultimately it is up to you but if you ask for help and advice its very insulting to not use it. :doh:
