    PMA Swap Woodruff Key?

    Ok, I've got my PMA parts all together except the woodruff key. I didn't buy the HHB kit or any kit, I bought all the parts separately. What size woodruff key do I need? Or do I even need one? It's an 80 engine and will be installing a Pamco ignition as well.

    Quick question about timing and rotor marks.

    I installed the pma/pamco setup from mikes and made my timing marks as described in the instructions. The instructions say to make two marks on the side cover one is TDC, and one is at 15 degrees. The TDC mark gets transferred to the rotor. I assume that I will be timing it to the 15 degree...

    Stator is getting so hot the wires at the phase connections melting

    This problem is really boggling me. I installed a HHB PMA kit in the spring and the install was dead easy as per Huge's excellent instructions. I went on a 100Km ride and when I got to my destination my battery was dead. Managed to get a charge on the battery and made it back home before she...

    Hugh's PMA and points: bike won't start, ran 4 days ago

    Hey gang. I'm stumped here, needing some assistance. I built this bike, it ran and rode (with some carb issues that were more annoying than terrible). It is set up with a Hugh's Handbuilt PMA, sparx cap, and simple in-frame wiring done by me. I tore it down for paint, and rebuilt it last...

    Best Bang For Your Buck- P.M.A./Ignition System

    So I have been reading up about these "PMA" systems people are running in there bikes and frankly I think you would be dumb not to...

    wiring 8-wire reg/rec for pma

    I have a reg/rec and stator from a VF500 which I am combining with an RD rotor. The regrec has 8 wires: 3 yellow (no problems), one brown, 2 green and 2 red. Am I right in thinking brown is a voltage sensor, red pos and green neg? Can I bridge the pair of greens together and then bridge the reds...

    Question about PMA

    Hi all, I am looking to possibly buying parts or a kit to do a PMA swap on my 1980 Special. The PMA kit on MikesXS looks identical to the XS-Charge kit, and if true, would include a 130-Watt stator. Is there a big difference between the 130-Watt compared to say, 200-Watt or even 220-Watt...
