    Capacitor popped

    She’s all fixed up and as tuned as she can possibly be until i put her on the pavement. She’s close :) (she sounds kinda mean and nasty, so im hoping...) had to have been simply crossed wires because on the battery today voltage and everything was spot on.

    Capacitor popped

    Im thinking it had to be a momentary short like one of the alligator clip leads from capacitor to bike touched the frame or each other or something. (cap was outside bike for the moment in a secure position, we thought, just so we could start and time it and all, and we had alligator clips from...

    Capacitor popped

    so, today while timing my bike the capacitor popped and blew up. All wires were connected correctly (red to red, black to black)...does the spring holder for the cap need to be grounded also? If not, then the only thing i can imagine is that the regulator rectifier is bad and putting out too...

    Fresh rebuild - no fun running

    So here’s another question...for anyone using the 277 pamco/pma setup...in order to time my bike (have the timing mark line up with ‘fire’) my pamco is turned hard clockwise...is this within ‘normal’ range or does it indicate some type of problem (like cam and crank not synced, badly adjusted...

    Whew...i think the pamco is good and coils are good...i timed it after the mishap and all seems good. It still advances to the advance mark and stays on the ‘fire’ mark during idle :) dodged a bullet there.

    So, I accidentally left a spark plug wire off one of the spark plugs and started the motor...im hoping i didnt fry the coil because of it not being attached to a plug. Is it an automatic instant fry the coil type thing or is it more like it can happen so dont chance it type of thing??
