British handlebar mounted choke lever for amal carbs
The coil wires are tucked up out of the way for the power from the pamco, but the double bullet is still there. but no power. I wrapped the end up.Your 'switched on' description sounds right. The harness tag is probably the part number. If not, posting a pic may help future archeologists.
I dug out my old harness, thinkin' that a coupla pics may help diagnose yours, but after uncoiling it, I remembered that I had modified it for the chopper. So, don't want to tarnish this thread with that thing.
However, it brought back some memories. If you look at your harness, at the brown power feed to the coils, you should see that the coils' multi-connector has 2 brown wires. One of them comes from the headlight area, the other runs back to the regulator area. So, that's how the splicing is done there. Maybe a spot to examine?
...how do you clean the female side?
....a love knot, if you will.Haha, that's always been a mystery to me too.
With the connectors out of their housing, you can test the male connector insertion force, and gently squeeze them down a little if they're a little loose. That's about all I got...
So since I have tested every component of the charging syste, reg, rec, rotor, stator, full agm battery(not a cheap one), tests good, And it started sputtering at the end of my last test ride, I figured the carbs sucked in some crap from the tank.
Pulled the carbs, opened them up. spotless, but as many of you know, that's not good enuf. Tear it all down, clean all passageways, put carbs back on, new air filters in.
For fun I checked compression, right 130, left 125. Its fine. Im betting those rings weren't ridden long enuf after the rebuild 20 years ago to seat in. Satisfied with that, checked plug gap, .030, Put 'em back in. Start kicking. after the 3rd kick, I know something is wrong. not even a popcorn fart.
Pull the plugs ground to head, kick. No spark on right, weak yellow on the right.
Coil? Ive found some info how to test coils, I have this one from mikexs with a basic pamco. http://www.mikesxs.net/product/17-6903.html
Its possible the plugs are fouled, so I have them soaking in carb cleaner.
But if I need a new coil, what others can I use with a pamco? Someone used a Harley dyna dual tower, and I looked at them on ebay, and they are half the price, but they have over 3ohms primary. The one I have is 2.4, and I think that is what I need.
Thanks for any info.
... the emulsion tube orings in the carbs are letting fuel pass thru unmetered and fouls my plugs...
