Cant find the info

Means they're good. Either the iggy module is bad or it's not being triggered by the rotor. I've never worked on an iggy system like yours so that's as far as I can take you.

 

I thought he fried the module awhile back. Don't ever lose ground. I believe Boyer even says not to leave the ignition on for length of time.

 

I honestly don't know how to test that unit. I'll look into it.

 

It a Hall effect system.........Go through this old pamco thread, it may have information on troubleshooting that could help.

Do you have a timing light? There has to be some kinda rotor with magnets to fire the module right? Is this installed right? Keyed? Should be about a 1/4 female spade connector to the coil. If you can have someone turn the bike over with you holding your meter off a coil positive lead while turning over. Should show some DC voltage while doing so. If this is an issue make a female splitter off the coil. Like you would to run a tach. Then with alligator clip hook your meter to it. Obviously have the other end of your meter to ground. I have a cheater led light with a needle positive and a clip for ground. I use this for points but would work here good.

 

I almost sent the same link. Lol

 

Iv had nothing to do with these.......In that thread i linked to it has where you can static check for a spark........... I think the ignition is wired on its own and you turn the rotor to check spark at the plug..........you will need to read up to find what i am talking about

 

I have not worked with this ignition
I have not read so carefully
But I have Within the last 6 months here seen about 3 -4 bikes having poor ground
causing problems
If that is a correct description please check

The black wire going to frame ground perhaps does not connect with the ground on the battery
Please inspect where it goes and that it connects to the frame ,,no paint and rust and dirt

Note: You must ground the black wire to a good frame ground. The ground on the plate is not reliable while setting the timing.

Personally I have an extra wire between my Boyer ignition to the Minus on Battery .
Perhaps something to consider if nothing else helps for fault finding

 

Yes Sir
If this is stock wired bike
1980 XS650
To be on the safe side measure the resistance from the point "Frame Ground "
To battery minus
Ignition off.
There should be a low value ..Close to nothing
If high please try to inspect.

 

Yes Sir
I was not clear on the language
Ill try the ground down to the battery from the ignition ground
That is worth trying

 

I posted the link to all things pamco ignition. .............I said it might help, because on Page 1 you said you had bought the second Ignition/Charging PMA system and this showed the latest of MikesXS Hall effect ignition system

Just noticed on Page 2 you posted a pic of your Ignition system.........it is the same as the Pamco that was sold by PamcoPete and mikesXS was a direct copy and they used all of Pamcopetes instructions and testing procedures........

Going back to that link i posted you need to spend time reading up the trouble shooting part and also the cautions when installing a Pamco with PMA, especially on start up.

If you do all the tests from that thread that will tell you where your problem is...............

Also the red wire feeding the Pamco should not rout through the coil first...Recommended by Pamcopete....tis better to run the red/Power wire to the pamco and have a feed off of that line to the coil......There should also be a 7.5 fuse to isolate and protect the pamco and coil...............this is all in the link i posted.
