Tested coil , only odd thing out was between the two terminals it tested 5.5 , its suppose to be between 2.5-4.5 i believe . Not sure if that would label it as toasted. Also checked if the advance rod nut had fallen off either side and it did not (have E advance as well).

sorry forget to mention , pamco and pma. The gas is fueling the carbs while running I can see it going down the clear tubes. Alright Yeah Ill go test the coil forgot to do that :confused:

So I have a 79 xs650 hardtail bobber that I got up and running this summer. I have had it running good no problems at all for the season so far. Then I take it out yesterday and get around the corner and the bike is having problems accelerating, and starting up. This is what the bike is doing...

Hey Fred, sorry for not posting it before but I had also set the idle rpm higher to see if that was the issue, same result occured at various speeds. Yea I wouldnt mind having to run 2x cap. or even a small battery but I see people on the forum who are running the same setup without a battery...

So to start I have a hardtail 81 xs that has PMA and Pamco kick start only no battery just a sparx capicator from low brow custom.I have the aftermarket headlight wired to a switch to turn it on and off. If I start the bike and let it idle, at any point if I turn the headlight on the bike...

Yeah im using the JJJ needles , I changed the clip position from 3-4-5 it occurred at all positions pretty much the same. Posted via Mobile

Oh my mistake then maybe it was just ill-advised. any insight to the stumbling ? Posted via Mobile

I am also having continuous stumble with these carbs while just cruising with the throttle cracked open probably 1/8-1/4. Would this be solved by adjusting the mix screws? I have the pamco unit so dead cylinder is out. I tried doing it by putting the rpms at around 1k and adjusting...

Well the rim is also slightly bent, but the main issue seemed to be the tire was not seated properly. Posted via Mobile

Well thank you all for your help! I took the one side tire bead off and worked it more until I got it to set even around the tire. Got it inflated and it seated properly around the rim. Took it for a ride and the wobble is all gone, nothing at all! smooth ride :) Lesson learned on...

umm the tire and tube are mounted correctly on the rim, everytime it is inflated the tire conforms like that on the rim at that given location, I had done it several other times. Posted via Mobile

Thanks for the offer, I will try and sort it out and if all else fails I will take you up on that offer :D. Here are some pictures of the rim, where it is bent the tire is actually being squeezed a little. Its hard to tell but in the one picture the tire gets narrow where the rim is bent...

hmm mainly because I am an idiot lol :banghead: Honestly didnt think about it. Just contacted the ebay seller, they didnt ship yet maybe they will refund 50$ is cheaper than 160 lol. Posted via Mobile

Okay thanks everyone, I just ordered a new rim. I will get it installed and see if the problem still occurs. In the mean time I look over what you all have mentioned. Posted via Mobile

Hmm no top motor mount I could put back in and see how it goes. I say a lot of posts about people saying its not a big deal. Front rim brand new with new stearing bearings. Lined up rear and front sprokets and all motor mounts line up. Rear tire like I said is bent Posted via Mobile

Some info: 79 xs650 hardtail , tc bros springer front 4 under , stock rake ex500 carbs stock engine straight pipes , unipods So I just got the bike road worthy and took it for a ride. It gets this weird back and forth shaking that is very minimal at cruising at 2-3k rpms ,possibly...

Problem solved thanks everyone. Posted via Mobile

I'm in, I could definitely use this for another project !

Okay so I tested the switch and it's functional. Ran the bike tested volts at the return wire (blue) from switch to brake light . 10vollts when I press the lever in - 0 with it not depressed so it's working . But for some reason it's not lighting up the brake light . I then put power directly...

Yeah it is a double filament , i put power to the blue wire - switch to brake light - and it lit up. Idk, I just found a way to check the switch with a voltmeter so I'll do that first tomorrow . If it checks out I'll wire it up with independent power source to switch and to taillight and see...
