PAMCO 10th Anniversary New Product

pamcopete · Nov 27, 2017

Yes, it has been 10 years since the introduction of the first PAMCO ignition. That product is still available and is going strong. Since then the PAMCO E-Advancer was introduced to eliminate the mechanical advancer. Now, it's time to eliminate the E-Advancer external blue box of tricks and offer an integrated E-Ignition that combines the original concept of a simple and easy to install electronic ignition system for the venerable XS650 with the E-Advancer. Here is the new E-Ignition. All of the features of the E-Advancer mounted on the original points plate with no external box of tricks.
Using the latest surface mount technology, the new E-Ignition has the same chip as the E-Advancer mounted on a PC board with the original PAMCO. Simple three wire installation with no external box of tricks. Battery, ground and coil.

Good work Pete, looking at the required footprint for the boards I'm guessing its only available in a 360* configuration..?

Pete,

Congratulations on the anniversary of your excellent ignition products, and your development work on the new Integrated E-Ignition !

My '75 is running superbly with its PAMCO ignition.

And thank you for the great tech support you have provided us.

Nice! When will these be available, and what is the price point?

azman857 · Nov 27, 2017

I've been running one of your units with the E- advance for years. Love it! Now that the 2 are combined that should make installation a breeze! Fantastic!

Well done Pete!

Nice! I have nothing but good things to say about the other PAMCO systems and now this... I'm in!

CoconutPete · Nov 29, 2017

I'm one of the guys who got horribly confused when I tried to make a shopping list of what was needed to convert my points bike to PAMCO. What does the shopping list look like for this?

azman857 · Nov 29, 2017

Just thinking out loud here, and Pete correct me if I'm wrong here.... Should be about the same as with the old Pamco W/ E-advance except no separate blue box and connections to be made. Just the unit under the Lt side cam end and the advance shaft and the aluminium can and nuts under the Rt side cam cover. Connections to the coil and power and ground. Bushing in the cam as before. What can be easier?!

Looks great Pete! Will you be offering one for a 277 also?

Thanks

Awesome

I don't see any available, anywhere, yet. I could suggest a price.

Dang.....10 years. I remember it like yesterday.
We need to catch up soon.

CoconutPete · Dec 1, 2017

So that grey wire literally goes straight to the coil?

mrtwowheel · Dec 1, 2017

I think I am finally sold on this. No points cam, No rubbing blocks, No weak points springs, No corroding points contacts, No mechanical advance, No ballast resistor for my coil, +12 volts at my coil instead of -7 volts, Smoother idle with less misfires.

SHOW ME THE MONEY !!!!!!!!!!!!

Well yes, I guess you could say that. Only the green wire in the gray sheath or bundle needs to connect to the coil. The red needs a switched power connection and the black gets grounded. All 3 connections can be made up around the coil. On your points model, you originally had 2 R/W wires feeding power to your 2 coils. They "Y" off the same wire in the harness. You could now use one to power the coil, the other to power the Pamco. That's how I wired mine. It involved no changes to the harness, just adding connectors to the Pamco wires and new coil.

Pete recommends a 7.5A fuse be added to the set-up. You can fuse both the Pamco and the coil but at the very least, he likes to see a fuse on the coil power line. Apparently, if a coil goes bad and shorts out, it can back-feed through the green wire and fry the Pamco. I eventually added the 7.5A fuse to my coil power wire. My Pamco just relies on the original fuse in the bike.

5Twins - please clarify where the fuse should be located on the attached drawing from the www.yamahaxs650.com site. Before the kill switch and the coil/pamco unit on the red wire?

5twins · Dec 1, 2017

No, not before the kill switch. Put it on the red wire at the very top of the drawing, the wire labeled "To Red/White wire from kill switch". It will end up being between the kill switch and the coil/Pamco.

peterg · Dec 1, 2017

Got it. Thanks 5Twins. That would be for an existing harness, correct?

On a rebuild with a new harness will the layout in the attached PDF work? This is showing fused power feeding the kill switch which in turn feeds the coil/pamco unit.
