110km/h is cruising speed on the highway, I'm also at a disadvantage because I'm running a hog wheel, so it's smaller than standard. I'd like to find a standard wheel but it seems near impossible

Finally got a chance to ride the bike again, no rain tonight, and we're on a winner here. Out on the road, idle right up to 6500K RPM smooth and strong, now it's down to carbie tuning to get the rest. Left and right are slightly out of sync, and they're a bastard to get synced up with the...

Update for those still following at home. I got my hands on an old second hand Honda Dual output coil at about 3Ohms on the primary, good looking unit if a little big, so I had to entirely re organise how it all fit under the tank. I removed the Condensors, because Relays are cheap anyway, and...

No luck getting parts from Honda, big RIP, harley don't have their type on in stock anywhere, looks like it'll be Ebay for me, going to put a post up in my local riders group, see if anyone has one they'll sell me, here's hoping.

That's fair enough, this bike is my daily to uni, so if I'm spending a bit to make it reliable that's fine. I enjoy riding it so I'm happy to put in the time and funds

I don't know where you are, but I've never had much issue getting parts for old Honda's, I even can still get clutch cables for the xs, I've gotten a few now. I'll see how I go, otherwise it'll be a trip across town

Thanks 5 twins, I'll see if my local Honda dealer has one of those coils in stock, it'll be better that driving across the city to pick up the Harley equivalent. Sorry Jan_P, I'll admit I'm getting a bit frustrated, I know you're helping, I'm taking it on board, but the bike wasn't running at...

Oh, yeah, nah. Relays are under the tank, E-Advance is on the battery box, the magnetic field in the relays is tiny, and also only fluctuates if the input current does, once the magnetic field is established the coil acts like a dead short anyway, so it becomes a non issue. And that short is...

What I will be checking is the quality of the connections between the E-Advance box and the rest of the system, because I'm not 100% sure how they turned out, it was a few years ago now. I need to check everything again, I've learned a lot since I wired the Pamco in, but relays aren't going...

Regulators been replaced, I'm running what was recommended earlier, did wonders for charge rate. Relays don't induce anything, they're switches, I don't know why you think relays are an issue, you're just bypassing the low current that the switches are really capable of. Your car, and all...

Alrighty mighty helpful folks. I've gone and gotten a pair of Bosch WR6DC+, which are listed as an equivalent to BPR7ES, because my local had literally nothing in the BPR or 7 range of NGK, but I know it's actually a stage Hotter plug than the 7ES, also has a resistor, so I swapped to my...

All a relay is doing is ensuring proper voltage to the coils, that's why they run them in all modern vehicles, lack of voltage won't be the issue I don't think, because before I rebuilt the loom the bike wouldn't rev over 1500 before breaking up, but it also had 2v of drop. I dislike the term...

I was looking at trying to run my original coils, but the resistance when they're in parallel is too low, and way too high in series, not worth the risk honestly. Good to know I can get the r variant, I still have the non resistor caps from my old coils, so I'll wack those on, should be a go...

Oh, I haven't changed the brushes, and the slip rings look pretty aged as well, I'll give them a lot tomorrow after work. Excellent thought, I'll check the voltage at that RPM, though last time I did I remember it being alright right up to 5K when it'd rev there. I'll shoot to my local...

Thanks for helping naive young me. Some important Info that I failed to share all those years ago, I've been getting a real weak yellow spark from the unit this entire time, since I installed the unit in 2017. Secondary resistance is 16K ohms lead to lead without the 5K caps at each end...

True, for now I've just fed some extra wire in the box and externally heavily taped the wires down, in going to assume that this happened because I was rebuilding the loom just prior and moving it a lot. If it happens again I'll glue it down though

Anyone had a Pamco Auto-Advance fail on them? Mine did a while back but it was just a wire broken off the board so I soldered it back on, good as new. Kind of makes me wonder why there isn't some glue or something over the joint to stop it moving.

I am aware, but I also don't want to touch it because I have a habit of over fiddling. Got a VR115 on the way at the moment, I'll wire it in and she'll be right hopefully, for now I'm just riding with the headlight on to keep the voltage at max 14.8v. That said though, sputtered tonight on...

I've been looking to upgrade the regulator, but in doing some reading the stock regulator is spec'd to produce between 14.8 and 15 volts at above 2500RPM. Seems to high to me and is dangerous now that I'm running an AGM. It is matching numbers to my bike though, which is cool. I'll definitely...

I think I've narrowed it down to either rich mixture or a regulator issue. I installed a voltmeter so I could see what it was doing while I was riding, it sputtered as it hit 15 volts. Likely has something to do with the issue. Anyone know what the max voltage is for the e-advancer?
