I could use this.

Got everything working properly again. Charging problem was a couple white wires to the Rectifier vibrated off and rough idle was a pilot screw vibrated out. I know..." get a re phase kit".

I also have 4 other bikes to ride.

Got it sorted, Pete, thanks . Not running really good yet but at least running. I'll get the rest sorted tomorrow, hopefully. Seems like a carb issue, but I don't understand why since it ran great last season. Also it's not charging properly again.

I checked that the E Advancer wiring was as specified in the instructions prior to re connecting the battery. Battery reads 12.86v key off and 12.40 with key on. Ignition switch 0 ohms drop, kill switch .5 ohms drop. I just checked the voltage to the coil on the green and red wires.I am getting...

Pete, I checked and re checked the wiring of my new Pamco ignition w/ e advancer prior attempting to start it up. I get no spark at all now (according to my inductive timing light. Seems to have gone from bad (week spark) to worse. (no spark). Any Ideas?

I also have a 1980 XS650. Does the Ultimate Pamco high output electronic ignition kit + E-advancer, Part # 14-0913, replace the igniter unit under the battery box? I see no mention of this anywhere. Thanks.

How can I test my vr115 regulator?

In gggGarys' "charging system guide" he states that if you have hi ACV readings (16+vac) it means your rectifier is bad.

Have you tried a chain guide like dirt bikes use?

Great project, excellent posts. Keep up the good work & posts. Can't wait for the next episode.

Have stock wiring so far. looking to "thin it down". I AM CARBONs' link should help.Thanks.

Old threads never die.

Do you have a wiring diagram we could work from?

Sweet. I hope there are some wires etc. I can eliminate but I don't want kick start only. Too old for that shit.
