Funny thing. I have seen gifs since the Compuserve days but until today hadn't seen the need to create one . I want to be able to do it local not the "Cloud" If a picture is worth a thousand words then a gif should be worth 3-4 thousand. Precision machine tolerances only here at Eaglesnest...

I'm doing the same thing. Just found this one Did this one @adobe . Works much better. https://www.adobe.com/express/feature/video/convert/video-to-gif. You have to create an account.

Google video to gif.

A online site that I hated. I just downloaded a local app for the mac to get more control over the process. But cool . Tried posting on a whim and it worked.:)

Border Colonia in my case.

I don't know if the 650 is similar to the xj700 but the xj pickups work with the gonzo. Will require 2 Gonzo boxes.

The reluctor is plain steel, no magnetic field to them. The mopar pickup has the highest peak to peak output of all the pickups I have measured. Very happy to see it sparking at kick starting speeds on the the cam which turns half as fast as the crank.

Yippee . 4 sparks per kick!!!!! Rawhide

I'm pretty sure theres a guide in the tech section

Or you could swap the xl250 triple tree with a 34mm tree. Allballs is a treasure trove of info. Some years of xt500 had small tubes

I've avoided hall effect sensors because they are a silicon device. Mounting one on the side of the hottest part of the engine right in the path of heat from the exhaust seems sketchy to me.. Ingrid, my Volvo 745 drove me batty with random engine shutoffs driving down the road for over a...

That is correct. The HEI will require the original advance unit. I'm using the HEI to get a feel for it's signal levels etc because I've not played with one before and it was less then $10 . The cool thing about the HEI is it will work with the stock points. I have a late model Gonzo box...

I'm pretty sure the advance is set by the frequency of the pulses and not the width. Hope to confirm this soon. Next step after getting this thing secured to the bike is put some gas in and see what it does.

Haven't had much of a chance to work on the Gonzo. Made a 500 mile trip to Houston and back on Saturday and Sunday. Wow things have changed out there on the super slab. Yesterday I rigged up the Mopar pickup and v8 reluctor to a GM HEI. Result "Sparkulation. :) The gap is closer to .125...

Wasted spark. Ether a TCI style dual outlet coil or the points coils in parallel. I prefer the the Honda cb750 style dual output coil myself. One thing I like about this mod using the Mopar pickup is that the Mopar electronic ignition first appeared on a 1973 340 hotrod engine setup so it is...

My thought exactly. .89c wingnut vs who knows what for a repop points cam. What I'm curious about is where did the washer for a backing come from. Washers that size a hard to come by . There again don't want to add holes to original points plate. The wingnut is going to work. The factory...

Behind the rubber peeking out on the right is a slotted hole to adjust the gap.

Was hoping to get away with a unmolested wingnut. Close, it sparks when I spin the allthread thru the cam but no joy kicking it even with the plugs out. I have been trying to keep the amount of fabrication, fuzzing around to a minimum. Jan_p was spot on about the difference in shape and...

Think I'm going grind off a little off the wings to allow the pickup to move up a little so it will clear the the cover. The 3/8 nut on the allthread grips the id of the cam pretty well. Next is getting the pickup fastened to something so I can see if it makes spark at kick start speed. Got...
