    Looking for new Ignition... NOT PAMCO!

    So, I did just this with my dual lobe cam. It helped a lot, and I think I need to cut it in a bit more is all. I think I'll try this before I move on to anything else. I like the minimal hardware design of it. I'm just tired of the slight out of time lobe in the cam and thought a TCI of some...

    Looking for new Ignition... NOT PAMCO!

    I tried to do the Pamco Original. I thought it would be a great upgrade. I wrote to Pete and told him about my bike and what I was hoping to get out of it. I got really short and indignant responses from him. It took him a long time to get me the part, and the part immediately failed. When...

    What year TCI do you install in your bikes?

    Looking for new Ignition... NOT PAMCO!

    I've thought about keeping the points set up too. I went with the dual cam lobe though and made a custom points set up. I like it, but the cam lobe isn't the most perfectly aligned. i'd like to be riding my bike more, but this lobe issue needs some attention. So, unless I have one custom...

    Looking for new Ignition... NOT PAMCO!

    Cool. I wondered about a stock electronic swap. I have a '79 Special. What year would you grab one from?

    Looking for new Ignition... NOT PAMCO!

    I'm looking for a new ignition. Would like to hear what options are out there that people are using. I'm interested in something simple but would like to get away from points. I've also already been burned by PAMCO, I'm not interested in his ignition. I'd like something more reliable from a...

    Wanted - Pamco ignition

    Don't do it. You'll be sorry you bought the Pamco. He has lousy customer service and a horrible warranty. I hope I can save you the headache I had to deal with...

    For Sale - Delkevic Header

    Brand New Delkevic Header for sale. I have had two of these because I thought I was going to need to chop one up for the creation of a unique header system on my bike. Turns out I didn't need the second set. So now I have a Brand New set of headers intended for a '79. I believe it will fit...

    Need a new elusive Right Side Rear Wheel Spacer and Dust cover. Please help.

    I was riding along not too long ago, when I thought I must have run through a pot hole. Turns out the internal race and bearing in the rear wheel totally failed on me. In the process it mangled my right side/ disc brake side wheel spacer and dust cover... Now that I'm tearing it apart to...

    Look what I found inside my frame....!?

    It was water that rushed out first. And it was a lot... at least a pint or more from each side. Then the black goo oozed out, and now continues to drip. It doesn't seem like it wants to dry. It's the consistency of toothpaste and black like shoe polish. There is no sign of rust though, so I am...

    Look what I found inside my frame....!?

    I drilled a hole in the frame to insert a threaded bung for mounting my exhaust and suddenly go drenched by at least a pint worth of black watery gunk.... So I drilled a small hole in the other side and got the same if not more water and black gunk. I got my exhaust hung, started it up and...

    elluded by a runaway idle... Can you help me brainstorm the problem?

    So, I tried this. I did it on each carb separately. I found no changes in the idle when I did it. Should there have been?

    homemade carb sync ?

    Have any of you used this type of manometer? I tried using it with colored water. I hooked it up after trying to sync my carbs by ear, and the vacuum was so great that it ended up crushing the bottles and raising the water level to the capability of drawing it up into the right cylinder...

    I'll report back as I get more time to see if that had worked. Thank you all for the input!

    elluded by a runaway idle... Can you help me brainstorm the problem?

    I pulled the advance rod this afternoon and it ended up being pretty dry in there. I gave it a healthy dose of grease and reassembled. Then started it up. I haven't been able to give it a good test yet because of the jetting and my carbs are now out of sync. But, the little I have just run...

    Great input! Thank you, I'll be checking these things today and I'll report back soon.

    elluded by a runaway idle... Can you help me brainstorm the problem?

    ok. So if I'm understanding correctly, when I move the weights it turns the shaft that also moves the cam lobe on the points side. That is moving nicely. But I'm not sure what you mean by the 'cam plate'...

    elluded by a runaway idle... Can you help me brainstorm the problem?

    So, I'm actually a little at a loss as to what I'm checking for on the shaft. The bob weights move and return freely. Is there something more that should be moving though? The small collar that the weights join with rotates when I pull on the weights, and then returns with the weights when I...

    Actually no, I haven't checked that. Thank you for clarifying. I'll go give it a try.
