Good point! Thanks -

Hello All, Jim rebuilt my rotor, it looks brand new and measures perfect ohms, (definitely the way to go! Thanks, Jim!) and I do not believe I'm getting it all the way on. My evidence is that the stator won't go on all the way. I looked real close with a flashlight and I can see probably a mm...

Thanks very much. M30x1.5 removal tool?

Rotor ohms ... not good. End of search for charging issue? Anyone know which connector (if any) is voltage reg? That thing is IN there and I hate taking off the air boxes. Well I actually hate putting them back on but same difference. Never mind the Meter etc. picture Can't figure out how...

Thanks, always appreciate the help! Not knowing what they were is why I asked, it is clear now. Electrical issues confound me, shouldn't, but do. Thanks again!!

Hello Community, Could I get names of the parts in the pictures? It's not charging and it fails the slap test, (by the way so does my 2004 Honda Shadow - is that completely different?) so I need to start troubleshooting but I'm not sure what's what. Also, regarding the awesome write up by Jim...

Hello, 83 Heritage Special, stock Kind of out of no where I have lost electrical features like starter, lights, etc. I read a lot of the threads but I have a question: will it make it 12 miles home? Probably way easier to have someone get me from work and leave it here if it's questionable...

And/or spent chain? All of a sudden I’m gettting a rrr rrr rrr feel-it-in-the-foot pegs on decel/coasting It’s audible and sounds like “chain lash” which is a term I made up I think but hopefully conveys. Like the chain is all of a sudden rubbing on something Pulls strong going fast and accel

if 81 = 83 item/$offer Speedo/tach $40, side covers and grommets (if good) $20, wheels (if not looking like mine $depends on condition), headlight $20, one front reflector (yellow, rectangular $5), condition of front foot pegs? 01510 Thanks - John

The end of having to replace screws with socket head caps? Yes!

Thank you - all the advice is helping. My guess is something real simple, I just need to stumble across it.

yes new plugs. once I figure out what's really busted I'll replace those caps too. Thank you- Jetmacmarty said TCI pack and pick up coil on the stator. Next stops I guess. Jet, is the pick up coil right there under the cover or do I need to take the whole side engine housing off (luckily the...

you were right on many counts. Good secondary. couple pictures as requested

Awesome, thank you one spark plug cap to the other (both off the spark plugs) = open circuit. Bad secondary coil? it starts (hard) and runs (rough) - would it do those things with a no-good secondary coil? Or is that like, if it's open circuit it won't even possibly run at all, something else...

Ohming the coil: I'm getting 8 and 11 (proportionately) verses 2 and 10 per Haynes Anytime I troubleshoot my way to a diagnosis I generally probably did the test wrong. Are the measurements taken as is (bike not running of course, key off) from ground to each terminal of the coil (red/white &...

Thanks guys as always, back to my book. Much appreciated. Hope everyone got through the holiday (in the US of course) safely.

Hey All Happy 4th! If this forum only had an App.....is it just me? So my bone stock 83 with brand new (Old Skool Carbs!!) carbs runs like shit Like barely runs, real rough etc. Clearly electrical. So I got my Haynes and I figure its probably the coils but lets check everything. So I pull...

Hello Friends, 1983 Heritage Special - bone stock. Started up all right, seemed good enough to finally ride. Went a couple miles, nice long 60 mph straightaway, slowed to the stop sign...stalled and wouldn't start. Had to get picked up and trailer it home. I actually thought about just...

Hello my Friends, Just wanted to mention how much I enjoy and value this forum I think about many of you with your profile names and how much help I've gotten I wish I could ADD more tech content - in due time I suppose I wish I could post a new thread from my phone (can anyone?) Seems like I...

Thanks, Mailman How do I "loosen" it?
