Thanks chaps. All good useful info. Once I get the bike up and running with standard points system, I'll review the need and desire to go down the electronic ignition route. Appreciate all your help so far.

Thanks mate. This is what came in the box. Need to know if it's all there, and if not, what else is required. Looking to fit it onto on my bog standard '76-c with points and 2 original coils.

Thanks mate. Your valuable assistance much appreciated. 👍🏻

Thanks gggGary. Single coil, dual output required, huh? Can't use the 2 existing standard coils :-( So I need to purchase something like this, I guess? Coil - Ignition - 3.3 Ohm - Dual Output - XS Performance? Is that correct?

G'day. I've been reading your earlier posts regarding Pamco electronic ignition. Great info. Many thanks. My bike is a stock standard 1976 XS650-C (US version) with points, 2 coils and 1 condenser. Recently, I bought on e-bay a box of bike bits which included what I have now discovered to...

LOL....Yes, all of the above (except retaining the fuel in carbs....:p). Engine out and bike stripped down to the bare frame, cleaned up/repainted and put back together again over the past 6 months. Got myself a good handle on a great range of troubleshooting tips now (thanks to all!)...

Hi. I've read all the info you, 5twins and others have posted on on this topic. Great stuff. Many thanks. It's now printed off and waiting for the weekend to come around. Question.....Has anyone ever seen or created a comprehensive trouble shooting guide / flowchart or similar on the...

Hi. Do you know if a "engine won't start" troubleshooting guide exists? Like a flow chart or similar? I'm in a similar position. 1976 650c standard US model with points. Did run before renovating. Now not firing. So I'm doing what I think is the right thing....working on one aspect at a...

Thanks guys. I bought my original bike new in Australia. My mate and I bought ours together and his was red. Mine was a darker Maroon.....maybe brown-ish. But the decals are '76 style as you describe. Very old photo attached and difficult to identify exact colour.....but not red! I'll have to...
