Looks sweet - went fast as all good deals do :-)

We Danes always looked to Sweden with envy how relaxed modification was viewed and allowed - try to build a chopper in Denmark :-(

So it's been a while since i last fiddled with the above mentioned bike - busy December and into January kept me from the garage. Today...

I have it as well as the Haynes Manual. This is very detailed in depth explanation to the engine overhaul. It also have great pictures...

Awesome

I just had the rare occasion where the point to my left cylinder failed - I was dumbfound and it caused me a lot of trouble to identify :)

I love the setup - decided to do that for my next build - so much easier to check it all before it gets in the frame. Look awesome

Removed the left side point and took some measures with points both open and closed - apparently there was a bad connection somewhere...

Thanks will get back on the ignition soon - right now I’m banned from the garage until at least tomorrow :-) family duties haha. Happy...

Looks good, I’ve been through same process with a ‘75 like yours. If you go down to the frame, I would watch out for powder coating...

What’s left?

I have thought about whether the point is grounding too - I have a new set so I’ll replace the left side first and see if that makes a...

Don’t think it matters but for good order this is an early ‘78. Will try suggestions. Thanks to both

This is crazy ? I switched the wires on the condenser - same result - spark on the right none on the left - what am i missing? I feel...

It fires on the right cylinder Jan. I took the tank off to work on the coil so don’t know if it will start on one, like to get spark on...

got 12.5V across the battery, tightened the screws, however no change, next switch the condenser wire and take one more look - done in...

actually just realized the condenser connection to the frame is not tight - maybe that's my issue

got 11.8V on the R/W going to the coils - both side. tried to cross connect but still only spark on the right cylinder. also measured...

I did not measure the voltage on the R/W to the coils, I'm however sure all the isolation on the wires and the connectors are good, went...

Ok - what am I missing ? finished my refurbish of the '78 ( I thought ), on upstart it would not start. After some measuring i realized...

Yes indeed getting ready to start another renovation

Is it time to harass you yet 😁

Well guess I’ll have to find someone to swab with or sell it :-) don’t want it on my ‘78 or ‘75 :-)

Anyone know what yamaha this rear wheel is from ? Got it with a lot of xs650 parts and bikes 1975 and 1978 models. The spoke pattern...

looks great - hope it never rains :-)
