I dropped a chain and cracked the cover from the clutch threads to the back of the case... so I need a new-to-me one. I'm in Fairfield, CT and would love to pick one up from you as soon as I could. Thanks.

Pamco Ignition. Pamco Advance.... Not the fault of either of these, but I can't keep the advance pin in place. It keeps popping out. I put it back in, it runs like a dream on the first kick. Glue? nail? What to do!? I want to ride this thing!:wtf::shrug::confused::banghead:

So I thought I had the triumphant second beginning to the riding part of this project--rebuilt top end, fixed clutch pushrod issues... got the engine back in and got the wires all back where they were... And I ran it around the neighborhood and while I know there are some jetting issues to...

Hi all, I am at a last roadblock to riding this build, having tidied up all the other problems, at least I think... But now, after a top-end rebuild and a few miles of riding, I am stuck in neutral and cannot get up or get down. The engine kicks over in one or two kicks, and although it is...

I've been working on getting to a "rideable" state on my build and I have the engine kicking over and running (though it races after it warms up... so I'm guessing air leaks are to be diagnosed...) and have to time the ignition. When I first installed the advance unit the "pin" was upright. I...

Trying to finish up the last of the wiring for my project and ordered a universal kill switch. It is a single cable kill switch so I am assuming it is supposed to run to ground (it grounds to the bars, yes?). I'm running a Pamco, Hugh's PMA a headlight and a tail light only. I'm using this...

Title pretty much says it all-- I have a leak behind the ignition cover and then also on the advance mechanism side inside the cover. The ignition side is a pretty generous leak, the other is not. Gaskets are new and I can't seem to see where either is specifically coming from. I tried...

So my project continues...I have finally got it running, sort of (thanks PAMCOPete!) Clutch has been adjusted exactly as per manual and checked via the other similar versions of adjustment on this site (slack cable, adjust in phillips, back off 1/4, tighten cable). But here I stand: Neutral is...

Yeah, so first basket case project is (hopefully) drawing to a close. This is where we stand... checking ignition and not starting. Here is the breakdown. I need to troubleshoot and wanted to do so in a linear, logical manner... can someone tell me if I'm in the right direction Details: Engine...

As the title suggests, anyone riding this combination? Did you have to go custom with your throttle cable? Or did something from Mike's or 650 central work alright? The Amal styles I have are the emgo 7/8, with the built in barrel adjuster. Thanks in advance!

So the basket case is coming together but I'm pretty sure I just hit another small roadblock--I think the intake/carb holders I have are for a smaller carb than the one I have. The engine is a 78 or 79, but the carbs I have are from a xs650 d... BS38s from all I can tell. I know the intakes are...

Wanted asap... Carb holders/intake for mikuni 38 carbs. Off a 650 d. I'm in CT and can drive to get them if you are close or will pay for the ship. Thanks!

Is there an Ace or True Value switch for this... i just realized i was missing mine after I did a big mike's xs order today in prep for the last legs of a build...

I'm looking for a steering stem/bottom triple tree for a 79. I'm in Fairfield, CT. Thanks!

I bought a basket case and I'm missing a few parts... I need an advance mechanism. I need a rear drum stay bolt. Rear drum linkage would be great too. Howabout a kickstand? Front fender? Anyone? Thanks in advance. I'm in Fairfield, CT. Mike mike.von(at)gmail(dot)com Posted...

I purchased a basket case xs650 (78 engine, w/ 2 79 frames) that had the engine mostly rebuilt. The covers on both sides were removed when I picked it up and I didn't notice that the clutch side cover seemed to be from a newer model (with the oil sight port). My question is that the rear...
