Take a look at early 1980's Valiant Charger hemi 6 or 340 engines. They may of used this pickup.
Thanks I still have some Kawasaki pick ups to use but its worth a look. Although if you mention Charger here you instantly start adding zeros to the price.
1970-1988 Dodge D100 pickup.

You are going to need to bring me up to speed on this.
Cam mounted reluctor for the Gonzo Box. For use with PMA etc.
This is version 2. Version 3 in the works.
Cam mounted is hard without the electronics just magnets and coil. Smaller orbit and 1.2 crank speed = 6x decrease in magnet speed past the pickups.

1982 XS650 Heritage Special with no spark
One day bike one running the next day it wasn’t, I followed a ton of troubleshooting on the battery, checking plugs/connectors, the ignition coil, the pickup coil and finally narrowed down to it likely being the TCI. I got it open and everything looked okay but still no spark.
Full detail here on my post
I ordered the gonzo, plugged in and started right up. Yet to take it out for a ride but thus far everything seems to work. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you all who did the research and saved me a fat chunk of change!

Bike seems to idle fine and rev smoothly when the throttle is rolled on.
The only issue I have noticed is if I crack the throttle quickly it has a little hesitation. Wondering if this is a timing issue or a carb issue

MY bike was borderline lean. When I put the gonzo in it, that pushed it over the edge. Wound up going up one size on the pilots.... for the reason you stated, a slight hesitation.

Do yourself a favor and get genuine Mikuni pilots. Niche Cycle sells Mikuni brass. They also sell the Chinese ones to.... make sure you're on the genuine page when you order.
