Bringing this thread back to life! Great build man. Where did you get those FPP chambers? Are they still available to buy these days? I'm nearing the end of my RD350 build and I'm not happy with my DG chambers.

I pulled the rotor off and then reinstalled it and that fixed the issue. The woodruff key looks fine, I don't know why the rotor was out of alignment. The notch in the ignition trigger is at 9 o'clock now, right where it needs to be to adjust the timing. Thanks for the ideas and the feedback!

Update: the wiring harness was fried. I put the old original harness back on and it's working fine, no heat no smoke! Now I have an issue with the Dyna S Vintage Smoke ignition. The rotor is not in line with the trigger at 2mm TDC. It's pointing up at 12 o'clock. So the spark happens on the down stroke. Any ideas?

Thanks for the replies. I will try that method of unplugging and leaving the grounds on and plugging back one at a time and get back with results

All good advice, thank you. I will check all those points. Yeah it's the lighter brown 12v switched that's getting hot. I don't have any of the wiring for the speedo tacho lights plugged in but I may not have wrapped those bullets in tape either, so they could be the culprit!

Nearing the end of my 74 RD350 build and the wiring is causing me fits. Definitely my weakness when it comes to wiring. I installed a new wiring harness from HVC Cycle and when I turn the key to position 1 the headlight works, low and high, and the horn works but the brown wires are getting too hot and starting to smoke. I've checked and cleaned the grounds at the battery terminal and under the tank and that hasn't helped. Anyone seen this before? Any ideas would be appreciated.
