ignition

Hey fam, What i thought was a lean fuel mixture on my far side cylinder turned out to be an interesting ignition timing issue. Regardless of how I rotate and set my bottom points plate, the point of spark will not change from this general area (see picture). This is my first time digging...

Hey all, So I'm having a rather confusing issue at the moment that only arose after installing my Pamco, mind you this was about a year ago, when I first installed it the bike would idle great, the timing was perfect, it idles way better than ever before but was a bit difficult to start, I...

I have an 83 Yamaha xs650 ive bought mikesxs carbs (assembled) , mikesxs non vacum petcock and for some reason its still leaking gas. The leak only happens when ive rode the bike awhile it comes from the left carb from the overflow vent hose. I had someone tell me it could be the ignition or...

About six months ago my dad and i finally got our '73 xs650 started after 8 years of trial and error. While it was running, the brake light burst from being overpowered and once we killed the bike, it refused to turn over again. It would start on the first kick before the light burst but has not...

So hi everyone, I'm new here and just bought my first xs650 (1979 xs650sf). I have a few questions, so I changed the battery and the spark plugs on Wednesday and the bike fired right up with the electric start, yay! (Electric start wasn't working when starting cold when I purchased the bike) so...

Hello, I just swapped out my bullhorns for a some powder-coated bars from Zombie Performance, and now the bike is missing real bad. I have filed and sanded down all of the points of grounding from the controls to the bars. I have also taken the controls apart and made sure I didn't pull apart...

I am in the process of tuning my bike for my new pods and aftermarket exhaust. I told the honey Im heading out to the garage to do some work. Turned the fuel on, key switch on, choke on and started kicking. To my surprise, it didnt start! What the hell, I've been starting up the bike quite often...

This here ignition switch has been kicking my butt! I chopped and bobbed my 1977. I got'er all put back together and wired, Oiled'er up, got some gas in the tank, getting ready for the first start and to dial in the timing. After like three kicks it came to life....YAY! Couldn't keep it...

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...

Hi guys, I've just bought an xs2 as a project and I didn't get an ignition key with it. Does it need a key or will this bike never have had a key? Can someone give me advice on how to start it without a key pleaseeeee Thanks!

My bike is in great shape but it won't start due to a my ignition box getting some moisture in it. I'm looking for the Type TID12-03, it's the only thing that will work for the 82. Thanks!

A few weeks ago I removed my ignition (Boyer Bransden) on my XS650SJ ('83) because it's bleeding oil due a failing seal. I didn't know putting it back was influencing the timing (still learning). After putting it back, it bike was running fine although the RPMs went down a bit when running idle...
