So I did a rephase last year, had everything sent out to Hugh's Handbuilt (did and wonderful job), and reassembled everything. Ever since then my kickstarter has been "mushy". Is there anything you should do differently when installing the kickstarter assembly after a rephase?
I'm almost sure...
Mikes was a huge help too, NOT!
Whoever I was talking to said they were out of stock and they could only give me store credit. I could see things going horribly wrong when I'd go to order the new coil. Mainly because its not even listed individually.
Hey Hugh,
You have any specific info on the coils you use, I have a shorted coil from Mikes and they're pretty much telling me they can't do anything about it. I'm beyond pissed off at them. :cussing: I just want this bike finished already!
This is probably a long shot but, does anyone out there happen to have a spare and working Geen Monster single output coil for a 277 Pamco.
One of the two I received from Mikes has a dead short, and they are conveniently out of stock. They also seem to be just avoiding my emails now. I was...
Question, if I were to purchase a long one piece pushrod I would still need the end of the pushrod, number 23 in the diagram.

The title really says it all, just trying to get some ideas for relocating the coils.
Currently on my non-repahsed motor my coil is in the stock location. But when I do get around to rephasing, idk where in the hell to put them so they're in a good looking and functionable spot.
Pete, I hadn't tried removing the locating pin until now, I was just using the kickstarter all day. Idk what the fuck just happened but it's all like nothing ever happened.
Thanks to everyone who helped, this place rules!
Yeah, I'm just baffled now. All my readings matched the procedures you mentioned. But just can't get a spark, plugs are fine too, ran them in a different motor and were good. I'm just startin to lose my mind now. :banghead:
Are there any other reasons reported for no spark?
There's one other thing I guess I should mention. The reason it backfired I guess. Every once and a while when I simply turn the key on, it's like the compression left in the motor is released through the exhaust. Because when I turn my key on the coil is instantly energized and it must ignite...
Ok, quick question about that first procedure. Step 2 says, "measure between one of the primary terminals and the center of the coil", would that be power into the coil and ground? If so I got a reading on my meter of O.L. I can't remember of that would be infinite or not.
Ok, so the other day I went to take my bike out. It was running fine, I went to fill up and and continue my ride. With a full tank of gas, about a thousand feet away from the station, my bike just shuts off. I've notices a slight issue with my gass cap, it's vented, but not venting properly. So...
