    My Build thread - 1980 XS650 Special II

    Did you make the timing marks on the fly wheel? I made a TDC mark that will give a approxamate if it points about 1/2 to 3/4" to the left.

    BS34 carbs rich

    I got the BS38's in and and have the pilot stock, the needle down one (2nd grove down from the top) and one up on the main. I got rid of the mid range stutter and for sure has excellent power after idle (pilot) clears, but now the pilot is rich. I will have to go lower than stock on the pilot I...

    My Build thread - 1980 XS650 Special II

    Did you time it, could be a little retarded. When I added the Points cam to my '80 it had to have the timing plate at full advance to make it right even when I had the Pamco hooked up I had it turned 95% full clockwise to be at the correct advance. Did you make some timing mark on the new...

    BS34 carbs rich

    The 38's will be here Tuesday or Wednesday. But I refused to spend one more minuet working on those BS34's and sold them this morning. XS650 central should have the floats, some of the parts you have to call, leave a message and he does get back with you. As long as mikes is selling Mikuni...

    BS34 carbs rich

    The floats are good, I checked the levels on both and both plugs get the some darkness. Plus I shook them. They are gone now though!:D I'm ordering parts from XS650 central from now on, and getting the ethanol safe no vaccum barbs ones. I don't really trust some of the stuff mikes sell, wouldn't...

    What pipes and filters did you use? Stock headers or single walled? What jetting to you end up going with? I just what to know the approxamate jets to buy. I was thinking two sets of pilots two up and same with the mains.

    BS34 carbs rich

    I got a set of 1979 BS38's coming, I'll order the boots and jets monday. I was surprised I found out my bs34's sold on ebay for $60! That's more than I thought I would get. They don't sell nere as high as the BS38's. I will be glad to ship those headaches away for good!

    BS34 carbs rich

    The thing is they worked fine with the stock headers and richend up main and pilot. I know they were only desighned to be fuel saver for 80's and up, it's a battle. I gave up and going to get them on ebay, just won a set of 78 BS38s that are suppose to be in excellent condition. If they are it...

    BS34 carbs rich

    I have 1980 BS34 carbs and when jetted 1 up pilot 2 up main with stock headers straight piped and XS performance filters it worked fine. I got a set of 1/2" pipes (longer but bigger ID) and now it is running rich on the midrange. I tried a small pilot jet, too lean at idle, 1 bigger than stock...

    mikes XS starter plug

    They won't. If they do you'll wish they hadn't. Pull the left side cover off (footpeg and shifter too) then the little odd shaped cover on the bottom right. That will have two gears, get them out and pull the starter. You will see the hole and put the backing plate on the inside, then the other...

    Pamco ignition quit.

    So it looks like it's the Pamco since the coil tests good? If so how does the 1 year warrenty work. If I have to deal with mikesxs I'm sure I won;t even get a reply, and the won't give out the phone number.

    Pamco ignition quit.

    Can these pamco's be used as just a pickup coil for a CDI ignition box, like off a yamaha banshee? I'm about to just get the points back on it and fight them and get it running right. At least they never went bad. I just can't believe there is already a problem with the ignition.

    Back fie out carbs...

    The timing would have to be WAY advance to fire befor the intake was closed. It would backfire every stroke as well. It is almost always lean or a weak spark. (the fuel doesn't burn all the way, you can get exhust back fires, sometimes both.) Weak spark can make it ignite too. If you timing was...

    Pamco ignition quit.

    When I was kicking like I said it would go down to about 10 or 11 volt. With a 1.5 amp charging hooked up it goes from 13.5 volt to about 9.5 volt when the plug is suppose to fire. I also tried to kick it too with the charger, no help, just hight voltage when the coil goes. I kick started it...

    Pamco ignition quit.

    Okay, got it 200 and tested the boots toghether and it is 25 ohms. What is green coil? I got two screws and it said nothing which wire to witch posts. I tested the red to the green, isn't that the primary test? If so it is 3.5 ohms on the 200 setting. Either one of terminals to ground...

    Pamco ignition quit.

    Hey Pete. Will the pamco run any dual aoutput coil? My buddy has a dual output coil from a Polaris, that should work right?

    Pamco ignition quit.

    The pamco seems fine, if I spin it you can't see a spark on the plug, but the spark checker shows a weak spark at evey pass. The coil primary (controle terminal to the 12 volt fused feed) show risitance but drop quicly to zero ohms quick. The wires check from the coil end to the boots 4.99 ohms...
