Getting ready to install HHB PMA and Pamco, but have a few newb questions first...

[MrWilson]

I've got a stock 1980 xs650 special (g?), got my HHB pma in hand and am waiting for back order on pamco ignition kit.

My question is, if I install the PMA now, will I still be able to kickstart until the pamco comes in? If so, is there something I need to do differently than the instructions provided by hugh?

Am I better off waiting until I've got everything in hand before doing this?

Thanks!

I would say no, but anyone feel free to come and correct me. the 1980 and up models used the tdi ignitions which have the timing pick up on the stock charging rotor. When you replace with the PMA you will lose that. I Would also probably install the pamco first and make sure that is working well before the PMA. That way you're only changing one system at a time.

I agree, wait and do the Pamco first.

Thanks guys. Looks like I'll be waiting until next week to install.
