Hey guys, Anyone have an issue with the battery terminal getting hot? My first suspicion is the negative terminal may have been in contact with the seat frame causing some resistance. Not trying to roast the old chestnuts here. Bike runs fine when it gets a steady electrical signal otherwise...

2 months in and the Caswell Sealant is holding up. No leaks.

I'll try a sealant. I'm not gonna mess around with heat. Thanks for the quick responses. Hopefully this will do the trick.

Anyone know if there is anything I can do with a leaking fuel tank? Petcocks seem okay but fuel is seeping down from the seat area, down from the front of the tank. 73 tx650. Not sure if this is even fixable. Any resources to replace this or fix it? The bike is running superb so this is a real...

All good ideas. I'll try them out this week and let you know which is the culprit.

Hey guys, I was hoping you could give me some insight into an intermittent starting issue I'm having. It usually occurs after it is all warmed up and I go to a store or something for 10 minutes and when I come out it won't kick start and I have to pop it. After I get it going it runs normal.The...

I actually got those "boats.net" valve seats after it became obvious the ones I bought were junk. Is it possible my floats are "hanging up" somehow? The fuel should be getting cut off and yet it is perpetually leaking in the most annoying ways.

Hello, I am having a nagging drip from my carb that just won't go away. Cleaned carbs thoroughly and changed valve needle seat along with 24mm float height. What am I missing here? 1973 TX650 Gas was coming out of overflow but is now seeping out of bowl and dripping off the flat plate facing...

Hey guys, I'm currently cleaning the carbs and doing a seasonal tuneup on my '73 TX650. Just wondering if anyone had some advice for things I can check or fix that aren't completely obvious while I got all of this crap off. -Chrondor

I guess I should have clarified that it is the tubes leaking from a split in them. I watched them drip with the bowl removed and filled. Were you able to install new ones in yours? Just curious if I can replace them. -Chrondor

Hello, Getting a slow drip from my left brass overflow tube. Just wondering if this can be replaced or fixed? Any shops sell this type of thing? Thanks. Chrondor

Well it looks like everything is okay with the coil. Thanks for your help on this I've learned a lot. It turns out it was the Pamco E-Advance unit. There is a break in one of the circuit lines. This must have cut power to the points sensor unit (I hope.) I'll get to the bottom of this yet...

5twins, I did NOT know that! Thank you. Getting a normal reading through the wires so I guess it didn't crap out. Caps are at 4.5K too. So I guess there must be a short somewhere.

Primary was 4.5 secondary I couldn't get a reading. Just nothing

Well now it would seem "Mike'sUltimate Pamco kit" carries the #17-6822 coil and not the Ultimate coil. Guess I should have read the fine print on that one...
