Pamco 277 ignition not timing properly.

[Vandepol]

77 XS650 Hughs rephase , now I can't get right cylinder to fire . Seems to be 70 degress off.

No spark? or you're getting spark, but not where expected?
Checking with timing light? Pics please.....

 

[Vandepol]

Static timing. Good spark and yes Right side is not on the mark. Trying to get pictures. I have a PMA and have timing marks.

 

[Vandepol]

Got them!

Ya got Hugh's painted line on the rotor. lol
Is that a Pandemonium Ignition?

I have a Hugh's 277 with different electrics. I may need to poke around - not sure that can be statically timed - and if so, need more marks i think

 

[Vandepol]

It’s a Pamco ignition, I have been working on this for almost 6 years!

 

[Vandepol]

Static time seems to work for me.

 

[Vandepol]

You know I mite have gotten it from Hugh’s.

Ok, it happens. Has it been running? I do see where Hugh's Tech Tips says it can be static timed. Gotta see pic of advance side @ TDC and the trigger magnet under the disc on left side.

His instructions https://www.hughshandbuilt.com/2012/05/30/pamcopete-277-ignition-install/

He used to sell PAMCO when Pete was in business, now Daniel @ Pandemonium makes em

 

[Vandepol]

I see magnets on the outside of the trigger plate.

 

[jpdevol]

Was Read'in fast; lets make that TDC on left Cylinder on compression stroke please

Ok magnet position is what's needed. I can't see in pic, but it's you that counts

 

[Vandepol]

Is on Left side compression stroke!

 

[Vandepol]

Left side is good, right she is off by 70 degrees!

 

[jpdevol]

How do you calculate 70*?

 

[jpdevol]

I'm just reading instructions: position @ LTDCC

 

[jpdevol]

Advance side per instructions LTDCC

 

[jpdevol]

And actual cam position LTDCC

 

[Vandepol]

Hugh’s tutorial is good. That is what I used for install. Will go back and redo advance unit! Thanks

 

[jpdevol]

Good deal. If that doesn't resolve you could check each side with timing light and that would tell what's really going on electronically in addition to positions statically
