coils

Hey all, I'm new to the forum and have been reading a bunch and don't see much about the TCI ignition system in particular. I just picked up a 1980 xs that has been mostly stripped and caffe'd. It ran well when I got it, carbs recently cleaned, and I have been riding it for about a month. It...

hello all, I was reading post after post about what coils to use with a points set up, I have a 72 xs650 and a 69 xs1 (and yes photos of my bikes to come soon) they are both hard ridden bobbers, anyways, I have a huge box of parts and many of my coils are white and many are black... heres the...

Hows it going all, recently purchased a Pamco 277 igniton to replace my point model on my rephased 78 650. Was having timing issues and decided to upgrade to the Pamco. I installed the ignition using Hughes's guide. The problem I'm having is wiring to my coils. The wires coming out of the coils...

So I ordered two replacement coils from mikesxs (the ones for the original points system). I went to swap them in and noticed that the male and female terminals are swapped on the wire colors compared to the stock coils. Will they work normal if I hook them up how they are? Or do I have to...

Hey everyone I'm new here so bare with me... So, I got this crazy idea a couple months ago that I wanted to build a bobber out of a xs650 even though I had no prior experience working on motorcycles but plenty with working on cars and I consider myself an easy learner when it comes to...

Okay, I do know my right from left, Mom marked the back of my hands with R &L years ago! Now that I think back on it she could have just marked one but she didn't want to take any chances! My real question is in relation to wiring of my 1978 XS650. The signals, the coils and contact breakers...

Hello all - brand n00b here, looking for ancient wisdom of the 1970s...I have recently acquired a very nice original condition TX650 - all there, great paint, great chrome, and ran great once it had a new battery and fuel. Unfortunately, while riding last week (have put quite a lot of miles on...

Am I right in assuming these would work on our XS's? I am looking at an Andrews unit, 2.8 Ohms for an 83, TCI equipped bike. Stock coil seems a bit weak. Hard starting, some missing at idle on the right cylinder. I figure a new coil t 3X the output voltage wouldn't hurt at any rate. Not sold...

I've read just about every line of every thread on alternatives to the "Green Monster " Coils, but can't quite figure out if this one will work or not...

Is there an easy way to test my Coils while on the bike? I left the key on while troubleshooting a flasher issue. I felt one coil get pretty warm, I am not having good fire on that side now. thanks all. Cousin Larry

Hey all, It has been a long while since I have posted here, but the long winter months have gotten me thinking again. I have a 1980 XS650 Special, and I have been chasing very intermittent issues with it over the past few years. Up until this point I have always thought it to be fuel related...

I guess my first questions is, can you run a single, meaning one individual unit, dual-output ignition coil with PAMCO ignition and a 277* rephase??? I bought a PAMCO kit from Mike's XS, and it came with two, single output/outlet ignition coils, one for each cylinder. Unfortunately, they're...

Hey guys, I have a 1975 XS650 rephase that I am just getting put back together for the spring. I am working through the electrical right now and found that I have no spark on my right cylinder. I checked the plugs, then swapped then, the no-spark stayed with the right cylinder, and the...

'77 running bs 34's and TCI ignition..... After pulling and cleaning and cleaning and swapping bits and pieces between a set of rebuilt '80 brass float 34's and a set of '81 plastic float 17k miles 34's and still not getting the right side to fire consistently I swapped plug wires. Yep...

Thanks guys

The title really says it all, just trying to get some ideas for relocating the coils. Currently on my non-repahsed motor my coil is in the stock location. But when I do get around to rephasing, idk where in the hell to put them so they're in a good looking and functionable spot.

Every thing works on my 1972 xs 650 but as I'm cranking motor there is no spark at plugs? any Ideas? is there 2 ignition coils? any diagrams from this model year available? Anyone got some trouble shooting "do this next" ideas? help please!!

I have just hooked up all the wires, head light, turn signals,brakes,coils,starter. I have good spark to new plugs. 11.6 volts almost evertwhere. I noticed the right hand coil started to get warm. I unhooked the battery as soon as i noticed it...any ideas...

A few months back I ordered a high output coil (Part #17-6903) and plug wires (Part #23-2906) from Mike's XS but didn't get around to putting them on until a few days ago. And my bike started running like crap and fouling plugs. So this morning I started troubleshooting but everything checked...

I have a part bike that is a xs400, and my question is can i use the coils off of that xs400 and use it on my xs650?
