stupendous, i'm in!:thumbsup:

i wanted to let you know that i found the culprit today, and all it was, was the damn key switch!!!!! Ehhhh

iforgot to say that headlight and taillight are the only other electrical thing that im currently running, bare bones wiring

well there is no more capacitor on it since i put the alternator back on, but i went through and disconnected my tail light and head light, still a drop in volts at the key switch, then it started pouring rain so i had to quit, but im going to go through it tomorrow and reground everything on it...

do you thing that the battery could have a bad cell?

i measured the volts when the bike was running from the keyswitch

Sorry one more thing before i do that, i measured the volts from each skrew on the back of the key switch and was wondering if its normal for the each screw to drop from 13 volts to between 4-6 volts about every 5 seconds.

pamcopete, so should i leave the battery wire going to the ignition switch also and just run a separate wire with an inline fuse to the coil then, right? just adding a wire from battery to coil?

lol, ya i know i have to get it running, but i dont think it was the PMA though like i said i put the alternator back on yesterday and its still doing the same thing so i dont think that it was the pma. whats the tell if the pamco is going bad, is there a tell on it? I have spark, and when i...

I grounded everything to the frame, like you said pamcopete

Well i hooked put my alternator back on yesterday, wired everything up and still doing the same thing!!! Im at a loss for ideas, i was thinking the battery but how could it be doing the same thing then if i just ran the hughs pma, pamco, and Tc bros capacitor?:confused: Im about ready to sell it...

PMA came from hughs, and ill check everything else later today, thanks again though

Ya I'm kinda all over the place I know. So do u have any ideas?

i just ran the bike both ways isolated and with the capacitor, it did the same thing when it was with the capacitor but when i ran it isolated just to the coil it ran good didnt die or seem like it was missing, it actually ran goooooddd, but then the battery volts got low so i had to quick riding it

i ran the test today with my bike and everrything seemed alright but i didnt get a chance to hammert it

it was with the capacitor, but ill isolate it and give it a spin and let ya know

I doubt it has to do with the carbs, im just thinking about all the things that could possible contribute with it.

Pamcopete, I put the new coil on today and road it around and it still does the same thing, nothings changed at all. Ill hammer on it and itll just start running like crap, i wish i could tell ya what it sounds like, but it died twice on me in about a 20 min ride. Is there anyway the pamco...

hmmm interesting ill have to try the reading tomorrow, thanks again pamcopete

yup have the plug caps on, but is #4 okay? If i go higher than the 20k setting then it's not an open circuit? Thanks
