Hello to all.
I have a 81 XS, that I put points in 6 or 7 years ago. Few years ago I put in a Pamco.
It also has a magneto and capacitor. Problem I have is bike starts 1 or 2 kicks and will idle itself out of gas, but dies when you rev it.
I bought it to my friend how helped build it, he came up with the capacitor being bad.
Put a new one on from TC Brothers and bike ran like new again.
He put about 40 miles on it no problems, I took it home and also put another 40 miles on it with no issues.
Yesterday I took it for a 10 mile loop and by the time I got on my road it started to sputter and backfire and limped the last half mile home.
Now right back at ground zero of idle all day but won't run.
Any thoughts.
Thanks in advance
Russell
