Greetings everyone.
I don't know if any remember the xs650 I was restoring in some of my earlier posts. Someone suggested that i switch out the nylon screws on my stator. Which I did and it no longer shorts out.
My last issue would be the ignition. The motor is a 78 and the frame and wiring harness is all 83. So my motor has a mechanical ignition and the bike itself has electrical hook ups. I think I can switch out for an electrical ignition for the motor as they seem to be the same size. Everything is in and willing to turn over. i just don't want to gas up and attempt anything until then.
My question would be if anyone had any suggestions on where to find such item(s). What parts or if it sounds like I am on the wrong path.
I promise pictures when I complete
