I am building a 75 xs650 bobber. I have installed an xs charge generator III ignition, an xs charge pma with a capacitor. I could not get the bike to start because it had no spark. After checking everything I replaced the capacitor with a battery and it started right up. I checked to see if it was charging and it wasn't. I checked the stator while it was running and I get 17 ac volts so that was good and had a friend put my capacitor on his bike bike and it worked fine also. So I broke down and bought a new reg/rec from TC bros which i installed and everything worked as it should for a few test starts then it quit working also. Looking for advice as what to do next. Thank you

Pics of what you’re working with pls…
I’m having almost the same problem so a few things I realized is running a capacitor you most have a separate switch for lights or when you turn on switch and lights come on you will discharge your capacitor. Also found that charging the capacitor with just a battery for like ten minutes works better then trickle charging it and yes you must charge a capacitor they do not come charged now with that being said I can run mine with a battery fine but when I try the capacitor it fires and only on one side
