pamco

1982 xs special with a PMA from Hugh, Pamco ignition, and a small Sparx cap. I have a switch wired in to kill all the lighting when kicking the bike, and an on-off-on switch that controls the headlight (Bates style with h4 55 watt bulb). The bike fires up first kick, and can handle the lights...

Hey guys! I'm installing a pamco on my xs650. Just a couple quick questions. One, how tight so I tighten the nut in the magnetic rotor side to the advance shaft? Tight enough so I can't open and close the advanced weights by hand or should it be just snug so I can twist open the advanced...

So I just recently acquired a 1979 XS650 Special from an old farmer (for $75) :D and am in the beginning stages of the build. I am going to replace all factory electrical components, and go kick start only. It's starting to make my head hurt to sift though all the different information, and...

I recently upgraded my original pamco to new plate w e-advancer. only problem i am having is, timing. I have a light and digital contact tach, i have the pamco turned as far clockwise as i can and i still seem to be quite a bit behind still. when i raise rpms to 3000, timing mark comes to...

Recently my bike began to misfire. After discovering that it was an electrical problem (no spark), I eventually went through all the basic wiring checks on the bike and ended up finding that either the coil or the Pamco were the culprit. After diagnosing the coil as per Pamco Pete's "Testing the...

Hey all, I recently purchased a 1979 xs650 special 2 and am wondering if I need to get the Basic High Output Standard Ignition/PMA Package (Part #24-2670 on mikesxs) or the Complete High Output Standard Ignition/PMA Package (Part #24-2671 on mikesxs)? For the basic kit it says, "Note: For...

So I've been rebuilding a 1980 XS650 from the ground up (it was a junkyard bike) and I've reached a dead end with the ignition system. A few weeks ago, I posted a thread Here where Pamcopete was very helpful in getting me to go through all the tests and eventually decided to send me a new...

Amigos, Quick public service announcement and a request. Did the Hugh's Handbuilt PMA swap with the Pamco e-advancer. All went well. My bike is an 82 and didn't have the timing advance rod so I ordered one (part #14-0650) from MikesXS. Got about 50 miles on the bike then the rod broke...

Not sure if that's what it's called but does anyone know if someone will sell this by itself so I don't have to buy the whole pamco system

Hi everyone, I have 1979 XS650 and I wanted to go the batteryless kick only route. So I bought Hugh's PMA kit and installed it as well as the Sparx capacitor and what do you know it all works : ) So what I also purchased was a Pamco ignition. I did not buy the kit just the unit itself...

Hey ya'll so I just bought myself a new dual high-output ignition coil along with the basic trigger assembly from mikesxs. The wiring from the trigger to the coil is easy but i'm having difficulty with the coil to the kill switch. I took my 2 stock coils off and I feel like there are a lot of...

I know this topic has been beat to death, but I just want to make sure plan for my electrical system will work before I start purchasing parts. I started out with a points bike motor (1974 motor) without any type of wiring harness (previous owner must have ripped it all out). The regulator was...

Hi everyone, I've owned my 79 XS650 for about 10 yrs now. It has always been good to me and never left me stranded. After many miles of riding, it finally died on me. It was running fine and I shut it off at a parking lot for maybe 15 minutes. During this time, the key was removed (ignition...

Hey all, I just got my Basic High Output Pamco Ignition to install on my mainly stock 75 xs 650, and I just have a few quick questions. 1. the instructions say don't apply power till installation is complete. Does this mean to disconnect the battery? 2. It says to remove the two coils and...

So this is what I have, the bike will run and idle perfect, but when trying to rev up it seems the ignition wont advance timing and the bike with sputter, pop, and never really rev up. Bike is a 1981, mods are PMA from Hughs , PAMCO kit from Mikes, XS pod filters, carbs cleaned and rejetted...

Hey guys, I finally got my bike running (sorta). I am having some issues with timing, I have a 1975 with a rephase, pamco rephase ignition, Hugh's cam, and the crank was done at a local machine shop. I just re-installed the whole electronic ignition unit as per Hugh's guide. I will try to...

So around the end of september I took my bike about downtown about 6 miles from home. I ended up getting stranded and could not get the bike to run. I ended up just putting her in the garage for the winter because Chicago was getting cold and geeze was this winter bad. Anyways I decided to start...

Hey guys, I have a 1975 XS650 rephase that I am just getting put back together for the spring. I am working through the electrical right now and found that I have no spark on my right cylinder. I checked the plugs, then swapped then, the no-spark stayed with the right cylinder, and the...

Are all four magnets saposed to throw a spark when you turn the rotor by hand without the locating pin?
