The diagram I used to wire the bike was the diagram out of the Haynes service manual. The bike is still using a fairy new harness. Everything else on the bike is in working order. The ignition unit itself looked to be in good shape. But its 30 years old, and who knows what it has been through...

Thanks so much for the help. I sure hope this works, hahaha.

Yes, the red/white is delivering power to the tci box. However I have no idea what transistor or diode, or whatever it is that tells the system to deliver the spark. I have be unable to find a schematic of the box to tell me what does what exactly. What all parts do I need for a pamco ignition...

So I put everything back on the bike as it came. Checked all the connections, and traced all the wires for the ignition. Somewhere in the ignition unit itself is the problem. I read online how to test the transistor, so I got the multimeter out and tested it. It seemed faulty as I had no...

Yea, that's what's killing me here, it's got power, but no spark. I was just looking at the ignition unit, and it looks in pretty good shape.

Is there a way to check the ignition unit itself to see if it is faulty?

Yes, an angle grinder massacre.... The bike is 1983 Heritage Special. The wiring was a mess on it, so it was replaced with a stock harness last year. Everything worked. The bike was on the road last summer. The only things it did not have hooked up were the clutch switch and the sidestand...

So do I need the starter solenoid? Anyone...

We tested everything and it all has power. However, the starter has been taken out and the bike is kick only now. In doing this the starter relay/solenoid isn't on the bike at the moment. (I was told I did not need this, however that might be the case with older bikes, and not this one?)

Oh, I did not know exactly what the igntion box did. When I got the bike, I did not know about the switch on the side stand. When I tore it down I found it, and it was all busted up, and it seemed like it didn't work...

The bike was fully apart, nothing was on the frame when it was welded, and the ignition box seemed to be in good shape.

Hey, so I have a bit of a problem, and I am more then stumped. Last year I bought a '83 Heritage Special. The bike was rough, put a new wiring harness in it, fixed it up some, and rode it for the summer. Over the winter we tore it down, and hardtailed it. I put it all back together, all the...

They are grounded.

So I have been looking all over and can't find what I'm looking for. End of last season, everything on my bike was in working order. Over the winter I tore it down and hardtailed it. When I took apart the wiring, I labeled everything. So I'm running all the wiring, and everything is going pretty...

So, looking at it today, it was just a small wiring error that was right infront of me. Haha, sometimes the more you think about these things the harder it is to see the problem. Thanks!

So I have been rewiring my bike, and it seems that everything is in order. However I decided to check my progress and connect the battery to see what works. Well something is crossed somewhere, and as soon as I go to connect the battery, it wants to fire right up. Everything is off, key is out...

So I got a new lever with master cylinder and bled my brakes and they felt pretty good. However the bike got knocked over and my lever took the impact. No big deal, bend the lever back out, but know the brakes feel crappy. So we take the cap off the top of the master cylinder to check/add fluid...

I would like a new set of rims!

Any idea on the size of tires on that bike?

That bike looks awesome! Thanks for the help!
