 double check your ground for the coil on that cylinder, also connections to the coil all the way back to battery source. does not take much resistance to reduce amperage available for the coil. Use a multi meter to check, be patient and thorough. It is the cumulative combination of multiple connections that can really reduce current draw to a component.

cool. I like the container, When QA strolls through I see you have bases covered by having procedure manual out and open. Very good sir. Im not sure on finish. :umm: I polished mine, but satin finish could be an option.

several tools and methods to check offset. here is one. bicycle or motorcycle the rim can be checked for center placement once mounted, and if needed the rim shifted by tension of spokes to make corrections.

as far as offsets are concerned, I have always set up a wheel on my truing stand and brought my new rim to the same position as the old. I am sure there are some offsets on some wheels.  so I just use the original as point of reference for position of new on.  The fixture on my bench is an Artisan antique wheel truing stand it is at least one hundred years old. I have owned this stand for 27 yrs. It is missing some its components but I love it..

Thank you. I spent 15 years in the bicycle business , and building wheels for some of the local motorcycle shops and riders. I had ample practice.

Thank you.  I'll spend about an hour to hour and a half on a wheel. It's therapeutic for me , so I don't really rush/push it.

Well indecision has led me to just polish on the outer flange and natural in the center, took the time to assemble the hub with new bearings and repack the speedo drive. Laced up and trued the front wheel, look to start on the rear wheel this week, hopefully it will happen.

Thanks, I have been thinking about semi gloss black just in the center of the hub.

looking for some input on EHS racing tuner , looks like they are working with Barker exhaust , and the tuner looks like the EJK unit and I thought it was saw mention somewhere about it being from Dobeck. Anyone have experience with EHS racing tuner? I did see a lengthy video from EHS racing, looking to get some more info before committing money to them.

polish work on the front hub has began today , decent progress but I ran out of compound. Still have 50 years of imperfections to remove, however work has begun.
