I reached out to Hugh and I believe we have found our issue. The regulator is a Harley Davidson regulator and apparently they made an update without notifying vendors. The update was internal where a 'no battery' trigger was added. Meaning if there is no battery the regulator does not turn on...

Looks like I found my issue. I ran a bench test on the stator and my readings are out of range. Below are the test results next to the factory standards supplied with the stator unit. I guess I need to email Hugh. :( Stator readings: Source coil: green to red - Tested = 12.8 ohms / Should Read...

yeah we are on the same wave here. I am getting healthy spark. I'll do a test on the yellow wires from the stator tomorrow and see what it is outputting. I would image about 15-20vac. Since this system does not need a power source (battery or cap) It doesn't rely on the 12v. I might jump to the...

:mad: No... I literally just tested it and came back to your message. I'm getting like 19mv! Ooof. Unless, I am tested the unit wrong I read .5v on both yellow lines in one direction and OL in the reverse direction.

hah yes I did omit the light grounding wires. They are in place tho. The key switch ground shouldn't be an issue. Seeing as how the instructions say to us a grounding killswitch in line with the coil if you are running the bike with out the relay + battery. Which applies to my bike. Do you...

Ok, so I got the key switch installed and it does a great job solving for the killswitch! Stoked on that thank for the suggestions everyone. I am still however having the issue of no power to my lights. I have the attached image for my setup. Am I just touched in the head and not getting this...

hmm is it safe to assume the M/M terminals are all I really need. The bike I am running is kick only.

Oh dope! thanks so much yall.

Thanks arcticXS. I was considering this but am at a loss for sourcing such a switch. I found this cheap one on amazon... key switch <--- it's not much of a looker. I have one on a honda with a lifan motor. It is pretty much the same setup.

bwhahahaha seriously!!!!

This is totally what I am thinking. I'm sweating my ass off in 100* weather trying to kick it over. It's not pulling in enough power to fire the system. I do have a direct to ground killswitch inline with the coil. Without the relay, you can kick the bike over but it renders the key switch...

Maybe someone can help me out. I am sure I am over looking a very simple solution... I setup the stock Hughs CDI/PMA kit with the relay and capacitor - no battery. I cannot get spark. If I unplug the relay the bike fires up just fine, however, I do not have lights or bike theft protection. I...

Hi Picking this thread up. What was your solution? Even if it's a newb error always share the results for future newbs. ;) On that note, I am having a time with my wiring. I have the same setup, CDI PMA kit, headlight and tail light. The motor will fire up with no capacitor or power source...

A point of note, all the tabs for the seat and fender have been cut off. It would best to not see this bike as a classic resto project. It would make a great chopper project or ride it as is. Its a fun bike.

I gotta adjust that number unless some Portland hipster wants to pay that much. ;) Make an offer and see if I bite. Again I am selling for a friend so I am going off of his ask.

Unfortunately no. My bud disposed of all of that. :(

1975 XS650 for sale in the Portland Or. area. Selling for a buddy who moved across the country. Starts, turns, and stops. Has a title! The carbs need to be synced and the wiring harness needs to be either replaced or tended to, but otherwise the bike is great. My buddy was learning how to...

Ah word, yeah he will not be replying anytime soon. I am in the PNW. My next step is to reach out to Hugh and see what he recommends. I would love to upgrade to his CDI box. It does not look like he sells parts individually.

Oh Snap! Great call out 650Skull. I was not aware of this. Seams like you know a bit about thing or two. Would you have recommendations for ignition alternatives to the Pamco one? Seeing as I am pretty sure my current one needs replacing.

Sadly I did. Before I started the bike after my last top end service. I always hookup to a battery and dial the bike in before running the Cap. I noticed the power draw at this point.
