Hey everyone! This is my frist time posting and first time working on a project bike!

Beyond stoked and have been looking through multiple how-tos to get this thing up and running.

I have a 1980 XS650 Special and I noticed that the advance system seems to be missing. I need some help finding the right part because it seems that there are a lot of different options for me and I don't want to sink tons of money on things that won't work.

I've attached a picture of one side of the advance system and it appears that the rod and advance system is missing. The other side seems blank as well.

Can anyone help me find what I'm looking for?

Thanks in advance!
Ryan

What you're seeing is correct for a 1980 model. It has a factory electronic ignition and there is no advance unit or advance rod.
 
Always have both (grounded) spark plugs on the plug wires any time you attempt to crank it over. Do that and check for spark?
