    Questions on PAMCO Electronic Ignition and secondary Resistance

    Changed both plug caps and ohms dropped to 23k. I checked my wires,0 ohms so there non suppression style. I do have some NGK non resistance plug caps but I’m goin a run it for a bit the way it is. Seems to start idle and run great.

    Questions on PAMCO Electronic Ignition and secondary Resistance

    Installed a PAMCO a while back and was reading some old posts regarding plug, plug wire and caps resistance for optimal results. Im still a lil grey on exactly how its support to go. I have the Iridium NGK Resistor plugs and caps that came with the kit I ordered. I installed some new plug wires...

    Different Timing readings on left and right cylinders?

    Thx Jim,good to know. For those interested I tested Timing again and my findings are as follows: Timing plug wire connector can go either way on right cylinder with same readings . Timing plug wire connector will only work one way on left cylinder with arrow pointing to plug. Have no idea why...

    Different Timing readings on left and right cylinders?

    Interesting read Gary, My Hanes manual states that advance can go thickness of advance mark past the line and still be exceptable as per Yamaha. I personally feel better having it advance exactly on the line or a hair before. What I meant in other post was does retarding the ignition timing...

    Different Timing readings on left and right cylinders?

    Thx Guys,getting a lil beyond my comprehension in terms of tech talk. GGGgary had a good point in stating that as long as either side does not over advance past the advance mark at 3000 RPM .Then I should be good, regardless of what's happening at idle. I will also check with arrow reversed as...

    Different Timing readings on left and right cylinders?

    Ok so a positive side and negative side. The left side at least on my bike is really jumpy and really hard to set at idle. Easier if I idle up to check full advance. The right side seems way more stable. There is definitely a difference in sides though. I Ohm checked from from one spark plug cap...

    Different Timing readings on left and right cylinders?

    I decided to check the Timing before the season begins.Actually I gave the bike to my son (his first bike) I got a new w800 !! Anyways was showing him how to check the timing with my timing light. Bikes a 77D with electronic Ignition, stock advance. We tested with the timing light and attached...
