i recently purchased an XS charge ignition kit with the advance. After I got the advance and rod all squared away I went to the left side to put the ignition plate in. It did not fit and the issue was the circuit board being outside of the plate edge and the actual plate ended up being a little to big as well.
Long story short I had to dremel the outside of the plate to knock down the sharp unside edge and also had to knock the corners of the circuit board down (I mean barely removed anything from the board). I would have removed material from the bike only but I would have had to remove way too much to make that circuit board work.
The ignition is in now and it is still as tight as it could be without breaking the plate to get it in. My question is has anyone else had to slightly modify these or the points housing to make it fit as well?
(This is a pamco but similar to the XS charge. The black arrows indicate where I had to take corners off the circuit board.)
