Thanks a lot all of you, a lot of valuable info here! Going to hit the drawing board this week and prep for next weekend when I’ll be back at the garage. Living away from my garage is killing me haha I’ll definitely let you all know what happens after I do all these steps! Thanks again!

First off thanks for the time guys! @5twins @Jim the photos I took of the points plate maxed out in both directions was me static timing it with a test bulb and slowly rotating the crank by hand with plugs removed (started to static time after the dynamic time went south) Making sure that I pull...

Hey @TwoManyXS1Bs ! This is the position of the flywheel with the left cyl valves at overlap (as centered as I could possibly get). Here’s the cam journal at resting position to full advance (marked to show distance traveled). Same thing for the advance mechanism, full rest to full...

Do you mean the little bit of “play” in the cam on the points side? I can rotate it a little bit back and forth (clock and counter clockwise) without the cam moving, that is it’s purpose right?

Happy to hear from you Jim, here’s the advance

Guys, please help me. I’m completely at a loss and don’t know what’s going on. After I static timed my motor it started right up and ran strong. I took it around town a couple of times in a couple of days as a testers (mainly cause I was waiting to time it dynamically to ensure I’m running...

Shoot alright I guess I’ll start preparing for this dissassembly, thanks for the info @5twins !!

Hey 5T! I got new seals and bel ray oil for my forks (just came in the mail) I wanted to clean my forks out after I drained the old fluid. Any good way to clean without removing the tubes from the lowers?

Hey Leo that amazing info i really appreciate the time!! Going to mess around with it this weekend and see if the fibers and steels are salvageable, going to give 650 central a call tomorrow for sure to place an order, thankyou again Leo! ill write back after i open up the case and see what im...

Also i am sticking with stock cable clutch, dont know if that makes a difference with the kits. Thanks everyone!

Hey team! I just got my '78se running like a champ (only had to rebuild the carbs 12 times) (only cried 3 times). Took it for a victory lap and it was a good and long one! I have questions about clutch kits. I'll start off saying that i am not a racer and dont do wheelies or burnouts (boo me i...

got any photos of this setup?

would that fit my 78se?

Sup guys, im going to be using my 78se as an around town daily in the city. Im looking for a luggage rack to throw on for groceries and baggage. Anyone have one? I know that alot of the frames have different mounting points but im really not sure which ones are alike. Any info would help, not...

im looking for one also, any luck with your search?

Hey thanks! I hope your 22's treated you well! Thats good to know, @Jim attached a thread with all of the different models in order from first to last, although i don't know how he did so, otherwise id attach it! If you have pointers for me on this forum like shortcuts or cool ways to do things...

Hey 650Skull that’s alot to take in! To be honest I haven’t gotten the bike running yet, we’ll i did get half of it running.. lol the right cylinder wasn’t firing, certainly getting fuel though. The plug is sparking also, to me it doesn’t seem as bright as the left. New plugs and I made sure it...

That’s definitely info that I didn’t know about the condenser and it pairing to the points, really valuable point right there! Mine are actually in good shape (judging by its appearance) but as far as the coils, I need to do a resistance check on them, I get spark on both plugs but the right...

Is there any other sites you use for parts? I’m leaning more towards points anyway but I want good quality parts, and thanks for the advice! Good to know!

Hey everyone! I’m in a rutt.. I want and or need to update my ignition system, whether it be just new points, condenser, and 2 new basic 4.0 ohm coils OR switch over to a high output electronic system I’m really not looking for anything crazy or expensive, I want the bike to run just like any...
