Background info:
1979 xs650 special
Pamco unit with e advance and coil that pete sells with it.
So I received another pamco unit from pete after my first one fried so this time I put a 7.5 amp fuse in line with the coil from the power and changed the 10 amp fuse in my fuse box to a 7.5 amp one to protect it. Also cleaned every electrical connector I could find.
Well going down the road after installing the new one it quit on me only for me to find the 7.5 amp fuse in the fuse box had blown. (not the one I installed directly before the coil) I am not sure what I should do now. The pamco is still fine. (I tested it) I am just wondering if that fuse box fuse needs to be 10 amp? I am trying to be careful not to break the pamco. I had my friend rev for me whil i checked charging voltage an I got to ~14V at 4000 rpm.
My coil tested fine and I am using the one pete sells with his units.
I am wired correctly and I am using crimp on connectors so everything in that department looks good
My charging system is the stock kind except someone put in a reg/rec combo unit in it.
Where should I be looking next? Should I just try a 10 A fuse where I switched it to 7.5 A or will that lead to my new 7.5 fuse going out?
