I have a question that I'm SURE someone here could answer easily... XSJohn maybe, petepamco, etc..
I am a fan of simplicity. (KISS) And need to wire the bike before I can find out if the engine runs, so in order to do that I need an ignition setup. Here's what I want:
1. Batteryless
2. kickstart only, no electric or starter (will be blocked off)
3. Headlight/taillight/license-plate light/key-switch will be the ONLY things on the whole bike. (I hope that's all I need, am I forgetting anything?)
Here's my dilemma..... I have a 1981 Special that has the TCI bull$#it and it's going into the dumpster as soon as I have my bike running. This means I need either points or a pamco something-or-other to make it run correct? Please help out here, I'm lost in the endless field of wiring with no easy way out.
I've read for batteryless I need a permanent magnet, and a coil, and one other thing? If it's REALLY easier to run with a battery I would be willing to do that, but as long as it remains simple. If the pamco will do the job I'll spit out 200 and make her purr. (or so I think)
Dazed and confused,
Logan
