For those with jockey shift... have any of you modded something to help get the back and forth "flop" or of your shifter. currently im running a modded up 3/8th ext with a grip on top and the throw is looooong and there is a lot of slop when I ride. Was thinking about springs on either side of...

Oooooohhh yyyeeeeaaahhh.. We are cookin with peanut oil now buddy! Got her to fire today, timed and tuned. Runs like a raped ape! Thanks fellas.

OK... I'm totally out of patience. Installed a new coil, plugs wires. Recharged the battery. Installed the PAMCO to get rid of a possible faulty TCI and pick-ups. STILL NO DAMN SPARK! How hard is it to get spark out of three f-in wires?!?! I followed the install instructions exactly. I...

Pamco was an imminent upgrade anyway... Along with PMA somewhere down the road. Hope it gets the job done. I'm getting tired of waxing this thing when I should be riding it!

Ok, I get it now. I have PAMCO in the mail along with a new coil. Will installing that fix the problem?

Leo, Thank You for the info... Please excuse my ignorance and inexperience, but im not sure what you mean. Let me explain, -I don't have an engine stop switch, just an ACC - OFF - ON - START. Its a custom automotive switch. -When you are talking about "passing a magnet past the picks"...

http://www.mikesxs.net/product/51-7042.html I have this in the 6" version... works great

perfect... hopefully this solves my "spark" problem

I already have the wires and caps brand new... just wanted to make sure that the coil would work with that pamco kit on my '81. Is the green monster worth the extra money or would the ultimate do the job?

Quick Question... will this coil: http://www.mikesxs.net/product/17-6810.html work with this PAMCO http://www.mikesxs.net/product/14-0900.html On an '81 assuming that I have the advance parts from a '71, new yellow silicone wires, new plugs and caps, new battery and a new reg/rec...

OK, here are a few updates: @XSLeo: yes it is the stock charging system and it looks like the picture you posted. Since im on that part... I tested the pick up coil and here is what I got on 2k ohms setting: Grey wire = .745 Orange wire = .766 Not sure what that info means... but...

OK, did a little reading, ran a few tests... I did the wrench next to the alternator cover test. When I turned the key to ON, the wrench was drawn to the cover, when I turned it OFF, the wrench released. :thumbsup: I also checked the plugs again using a dummy plug grounded to the block...

Mechanically I'm good... The timing I can't say is correct. Not sure how to set the static timing. I'm gonna check it all over again in the am. This is gettin frustrating...

The coil was given to me bnib from the guy I bought the milk crate full of parts he called a "bike". Silly me I thought bnib parts were a bonus. Guess not. I'm gonna try testing at the alternator tomorrow morning. P I do have a points engine sitting in the corner of he garage with brand...

No spark at the plugs... Not sure how to diagnose this from here. Also not sure why it keeps backfiring when I shut the key OFF. Any ideas?

ill try that first thing in the AM. Lets assume I don't have any spark. bad Coil? tci? Id like to think if I had a spark, id be getting something. Unless the tci is no good right? Just trying to think a step ahead.

I have... cant tell if im getting a good spark or not. Would that indicate that I have a bad, brand new coil? OR maybe its wired up wrong? When I put a test light on the ORANGE wire connected to the neg side of the coil, I get nothing, even when it im cranking. Isnt the orange supposed to...
