So I took my bike to my friends shop to wire it. First day found out my regulator was shot. Got a new one. Then found out I had the wrong coil. Got a new one. Third time around, when we wired the ignition to the coil to a battery on the ground and when we gave it power, the ignition blue box got smoking hot and seems to have melted. We had it wired the exact way we were told. My goal was to use the pamco, kick only, no battery, sparx capacitor, pma swap. We found out also that my stator is only outputting like 3 volts, so I'm going to be buying a new stator as well. My friend that's been helping me all along (had built dozens of custom harley builds over the years-knows what he's doing) suggests I just convert my bike (80 xs650 engine) to points. Anyone disagree? Hopefully I'll be able to get my money back from the ignition.
