This is how I have it wired. I am not getting spark, Yes I know the plugs need to be grounded to each other if they are checked for spark outside the cylinders. I Just haven't been really happy with my Mikes Elec Ign. since I got it, it has always felt a little janky. It might just be me though...

OK from the ignition module to the coil there is a red and green wire. Should the green wire ground out? I was getting spark and now I am not. Not sure if i have a short in the wire from the ignition module to the coil. I checked continuity from the frame ground to the green wire and it rang out...

Wingedwheel setting it at 12oclock while at tdc center did it....and gggGary your the real MVP for going post for post and minute by minute with this. It is running now. Thank you guys so much.

That's what I thought i have it all pulled apart now. The instructions from mikes xs are not good instructions.

Yup. I rechecked tdc while I had the plugs out. The mark lines up with the TDC mark on the sticker from hhb

Ok lol well that's an issue. With the timing light ser to 0 this is where the mark show up lol

Kk

I didn't think I would really be able to use a timing light if it didn't run

Ok so put a timing light on it even though everything is sitting ok?

The Exhaust isn't on it but I would imagine that wouldnt stop it from starting

It is trying to blow the carbs off of it. Is that normal if it doesnt want to start?

Ok just did the spark plugs and the have LOADS of spark. Gotta be fuel then I suppose.

TDC is right where it should be isn't it? The place has a good ground and the power is direct to battery. The yellow wire are secure and going to the reg/rec. The ignition wires are black to ground green to coil and the red to my kill switch then back to the othe side of the coil.

Ok so when I check to make sure they are sparking and I have them pulled out they need to be grounded to each other. Gotcha.

It still has the starter. I wanted to make sure it was running well before pulling the starter off it. What's the point of grounding the plugs out?

So I had a running 76 before I put on a PMA and MikesXS ignition. Everything is wired correctly. The tank isn't on it and the exhaust isn't on it at all. When I go to turn it over with starter fluid I just get puffs of flame every so often from the exhaust ports and it doesn't even try to fire...

Almost done with the entire build. I havent forgot about you guys wanting parts. I jsut have to get it running and tidy the shop up and I will post pics of the parts for you guys to pick though.

Sry been busy. Should be doing mock up, And getting everything ready for final assembly on the bobber this week. So I will have pics of everything I am not using. If you ask for it and nobody else has asked so far it will be yours if it is available.

Yeah the donor is a 75. But I ordered a 73 just to see. Also If nothing works I am jsut going to make a new one that fits correctly

The spacers and everything fits just fine. It is just the axle is to long. The tail I got was pre welded. I would assume TC Bros kinda knows what they are doing. Might have been a new guy though. Not new to custom build. Just my first bobber. Built many street fighters, Rock crawlers and rock...
