Hey guys, it's been a while but I have a timing question. I have an 81H with HHB PMA, Pamco with E Adv. new pistons, rings, head, timing chain and guides and ss valves and oil seals. The new top end was due to an exhaust valve that broke and dropped into the piston chamber. Not the issue...
Hey all,
So I'm having a rather confusing issue at the moment that only arose after installing my Pamco, mind you this was about a year ago, when I first installed it the bike would idle great, the timing was perfect, it idles way better than ever before but was a bit difficult to start, I...
does anyone happen to know what size the bolts are that are used to hold down the pamco plate for adjusting timing and such? ive lost or misplaced mine and would like to get to the hardware store to grab a few so i can get on with this build. any help is greatly appreciated.

BIKE CYCLE
79 XS - PMA, PAMCO, E-Advance, Capacitor/kick-only. All tuned for over a month. TDC, Cam-tension, Valves, Carbs. Ran perfect, smooth in all ranges, 100mph+ capable.
BACKSTORY
I havent been this stuck for years...
Went for a 1hr highway cruise and POP! No spark.
WHATS BEEN DONE...
Hey guys, I am looking for a pamco suitable for the Eadv unit. Recently had to re solder mine and I would like a spare. It doesn't look like Mikes or Pete sell the unit separately from the combo.
Also I am looking for a replacement advancer "knob" for the end of the advance rod.
Thanks, Rob
chasing problems with bike running I believe may be battery. Runs for a few moments cold then dies, won't restart till sitting. Took me a bit to realize the battery was weak (kick only)
Kick only '74, pamco ignition, updated coils from mikes (the dual output black one). Original charging...
Some background. Bike is a 74 XS650 that hasn't ran in probably 10 or more years. I've got the bike mostly back together and am trying to start the bike for the first time. Previous owner said it started with starter fluid before tearing it apart and but who knows if that's true or not. Bikes...
This is the ongoing saga of a black 1978 XS650E that had been salvaged, bought then sat parked for about 20 years. This post is an ongoing log of all the things I have found to be broken and how, with the help of this forum, 'fixed' them to the best of my ability.
I got the bike in September...
ok so I am looking for a little help here to help out a good friend with his firs xs. hes getting very discouraged. he bought a titled roller and then an engine from another guy who said it ran. well we have yet to determine that as it has no spark, hes gone through the install of the pamco...
I was curious if the Pamco ignition is necessary if I'm installing a Hugh's Hand Built PMA. '78 XS650 hardtail chopper project that's going to be kick only on a 1.3ah 12V battery instead of a capacitor. Anyone know? Thanks amigos.
I guess my first questions is, can you run a single, meaning one individual unit, dual-output ignition coil with PAMCO ignition and a 277* rephase???
I bought a PAMCO kit from Mike's XS, and it came with two, single output/outlet ignition coils, one for each cylinder. Unfortunately, they're...
I've seen a lot of online success with the 650's, but will the "PAMCO Hall Effect Ignition System" work on an xs850 engine as well? Or, really any solution to get rid of the igniter box.
Well, I thought I was ordering everything I needed for the Pamco ignition from Mike'sXS. I just ordered the Ultimate Pamco HIgh Output Electronoc Ignition Kit + E-Advancer. http://www.mikesxs.net/parts/yamaha-xs650-ultimate-pamco-high-output-electronic-ignition-kit-e-advancer
However, since I...

MikesXS, XScharge ignitions are not Pamco's and are not made by Pamcopete
What Pamco do i need and who sells them?
PamcoPete has gone out of business...
I have a rephased (thx Hugh) now an XS750, with the Pamco electronics for the rephasing. I'm not using the green monster coils due to space limits. I'm using a Dyna DC3 mini coil, (dual output, dual fire; couldn't find a dual output single fire when I bought it). I know someone has done the...
Just got this bike as a basket case for 2,000, came with tons of stock parts extra set of rims and wheels, all that good stuff.
I have encountered a problem though.
It's a 1974 and it didn't come with a wiring harness or ignition system. So I got no key or anything.
What steps am I going to...
So I'm headin down the highway and all of a sudden the bike loses power, lights go out, and I'm slowing down. Like a dummy I didn't have tools with me, so there wasn't much I could've done anyway. I pulled into a parking lot after coasting about 1/4 mile, and had hell starting the bike back up...
Hey Guys,
I have read every thread on this topic. I know advance from retard. I have installed an HHB PMA, Pamco with EAdv, shaft, bushings and the replacement rotor for the right side of the cam. I believe the pin was inserted in the right place at the top of the shaft rotation. I have...
