    pamco indexing pin issue.

    The locating pin on my advance rod is too tall for the pamco to slide into place. That, or the indexing slots on the pamco were cut too short. If the indexing pin is pressed further into the advance rod (I have not done this) it looks like the fit will be loose, resulting in some side to side...

    :banghead: I have had it with the Boyer Branson in my XS. its a complete system with the mini coil. I have already had to replace the blue box once last season. Saturday I went for a ride. Stopped at a gas station and fueled up. Pulled off and when my light turned green the bike died. After...

    Pamco installed, now RPM's shoot to the sky.

    Alright... I got a Pamco installed on the XS last night. The bike fired right up and sounds great at idle. Set the timing with a light and thought I was good to go. However, as soon as you crack the throttle, the RPM's shoot way up and hold steady. I'd say around 3k. They do not drop down...

    Is there a specific degree of timing that needs to be set for the PAMCO???

    I am working on getting the timing dialed in on my 77 XS and I know that for other bikes I have had the manual will talk about setting the ignition plate at 8 degree or somehting to that effect. Is there a similar standard for setting the timing on the PAMCO? I am having a hard time getting it...

    Did I burn up my pamco? How?!

    This looks burned. That's probably what I smelled yesterday. How would this happen? This would explain no spark then?

    Question on how to wire the PAMCO. 6822 Coil. Can green and black be together???

    I see that the green wire needs to go to the negative on the coil itself. The red wire needs to go to the positive on the coil. But does the black wire off of the coil need to to go to a frame ground? Wellll, if the black wire out of the 6822 coil is the ground too, then why cant the green and...

    Why is the PAMCO better than points?

    I am building my first bobber. First build period actually. After years of just tinkering I decided over the winter to just dive in and go for it. I have a 77 XS650 that I found in a barn and now it is a pretty sweet bobber. I recently got it up and running but I have read that the PAMCO...

    White Smoke While Trying to Crank Engine

    My ride is a 1976 Yamaha XS650C. I recently installed a Pamco, a new advance unit, new advance rod, new Iridium spark plugs and spark plug wires and the high output coil. I'm no mechanic, but I did the install myself in a methodical manner. The bike started up just fine :D, but I had to...

    Pamco Coil Compatibility

    the Pamco electronic igntion calls out for a dual output coil similar to the MikesXS part #17-6810 or 17-6822. I have the 17-6822 and the 17-6803. I have been using the 17-6822 but am reinstalling a new Pamco and the 17-6803 will mount to my bike alot better than the 17-6822. my question...

    just a little too advanced..?

    So i've been messing with the timing on my 71 w/pamco ignition and i've got the pamco backed up as far as it can go and my timing mark is just slightly to the left from the correct marks on the alternator and there no more room on the pamco for me to retard it. I've adjusted my camchain but...
