LEO I too have an 83 it was running fine rebuilt everything cept the tranny and clutch system, ran fine for a couple months but i noticed while shifting mostly into first it would clunk really loud and tonight i went to go got 10 feet and it got a lil rough sounded then was not engaged. would...

yeah today it is final i upgraded to a pamco ignition system and that solved all the issues i was having. bike runs like brand new now. thanks to you all for the awesome advice.

after looking at things and aother thread i noticed the ignition coil caps are loose all the time and not seated very well the cap is cracked on one cable. ordered new caps n cables had another guy tell me he had the same symptoms and it was the coil caps. the compression is roughly 170 on both...

hmm he did jujst order new wires, and i notice the caps are loose as well and not really seating that good if that is the entire problem i will be slightly angry, but during the 3 weeks of trouble shooting symptoms we found a lot of other issues and fixed those.

yeah its like it loses all spark and you wait a couple minutes it kicks right back over then after 30 minutes or so of doing that you gotta let it sit for about 30 more minutes to get it to start up again. i took the box off and i see 3 2 zd's and a regular diod that have a black mark on the...

i have an 83 650 heritage and after rebuilding the motor and carbs and new reg/rec and replaced all the charging system stuff im starting to think the issue i am having is in the tci box. bike will idle all day just fine and for about 30 minutes or so it hauls ass on the road then it just up and...

ok now he ran through all the suggestions you have all posted and they all come back as being ok. the conditions are not present in the shop environment it only happens when out on a test ride. when you really give it throttle it will backfire eventually and crap out. then you wait a couple...

i have a hard time talking to my father in law as I do not know him all that well and he doesnt listen to things i relay to him very well, he was a mechanic for 40 years and retired and runs a small shop out of the back 40. he rebuilt the engine and the carbs didn't have them sent out i trust...

the last he told me yesterday was it will kill then if he wiggles the key it will start right back up. so he is going to bypass the ignition switch to test and see if that will solve it.

thanks guysjumping all over cause im not the one doing anything to the bike right now it is my father in law. the bike does charge now 13.5 at idle and 14.2 at rev. The bike doesnt die when you give it throttle it just up and dies after a bit, so when it is warm i guess you could say it just...

i guess my father in law test rode it today said problem is still happening he thinks it may be the side stand relay or some other safety relay i am unsure.

stock wiring, though last night i sanded the contacts for the keyswitch, and then also sanded behind where the ground strap goes and it seems to be doing better just got home from work so about to go test ride it.

one test i finally did was on the keyswitch i get 12.5v from the battery to the switch fine from the switch i am getting 11.8v which is too much of a drop indicating a bad switch wondering if a bypass of this will solve it till i can get a new keyswitch. could this be causing all the chaos? I...

you would think so but both cylinder die exact same time. float bowls fine getting plenty of fuel, carb been torn apart many times and all jets checked and they are pristine. mixture screw is 2.5 turns out. tested petcock and that is good as well. would it help if i made a small video and posted...

well it did fix something cause now it idles at least before it wouldnt even really idle just start and instantly die. the old coil tested at like 1800 ohms yours is at 798. so it is of a great use. i am wondering what the hell i can try if the rotor magnets are off a bit for a quick fix so i...

yeah it starts fine with the kick but never will start with the starter. it will only idle once i rev it up good it will just die out when i release the throttle

what is the solution if the new rotor is too thick? i am clueless now as i replaced the pickup and having same problem. I can kick it fine on the 2nd or 3rd kick but the electric start never fires it off either. if that is any help. the bike will start up when kicked and will idle pretty much ok...
