Damn, I'm still getting some skipping. It runs a lot better but not 100%. Today I fired it up, first kick on a 34F morning and off I go.
Withing the first 1/4 mile she starts missing a bit under load, not as bad as before I installed the magnet but still very evident. Same like before, if I honk the horn she falls on her face. After a few miles it improved to where I could lay on the horn without skipping but not perfect, still an occasional sputter.
I pulled over, disconnect rec/reg and right away it runs awesome, strong as could be, no skip...
I want to test my pickup coil next, I see 3 wires coming out, gray, orange and black. Where is the connector for these? I believe I should have 700 ohms black to gray and black to orange..is that correct? Could the pickup be a weak spot or do they just quit?
Any other suggestions?
Oh yeah, btw, I checked, the magnet is still there... : )
