I'm sure some have seen this, but i know they were hard to get a while back when Franks was moving.

Hmmm. OK guess i'll repack em and run as is. Thx

I got 2 sets of pipelyne pipes and they have different baffles. is one type better than the other? also what's the best packing material/method?

sorted!!!!!

Chasing continuity from the coil back I found the soldered splice I made on the grey wire was f'd must have happened while fishing everything through the damn grommet at the case.

thanks everybody.

Reverse the coil connections and see if the non working side fires. If it doesn't you likely have a bad coil or bad wiring to that coil. If it does fire, you know it's the dyna pickup.

so it's lookin like i need to trace the grey wire from the coil backwards.

man electrical gremlins really f with my head.

Thanks for the input guys.
Diggin into it I found the brushes were hardly makin any contact to generator. Pulled the brush holder and one brushes was way shorter than the other(may not have even been makin contact to the generator). Then the solder connection broke to one of them. Could this be part of my problem? Rest of the wires seem ok so in the mean time I'm gonna see if I have some spares before I order new brushes.

swap the leads to the coil left to right, then the plug wires. if it follows the pickup you know thats it.

still only firing on the left side.  circuit tester shows power at both coils tho. is it possible to get a single pick up? where should i start tracing for shorts?

Happy New Year !!

Got my bike fired up today! ..... But it's only firing on the left side. F! Coils ohm out ok so now I'm wondering if one of the modules on the vintage smoke ignition is bad. How do you troubleshoot the modules?

thanks!!

is this correct?

"keep the harry homeowner connectors out of vintage bikes."

That's what i wanna do. So triple bullet with the double female end to the 2 browns at the coils, red wire from VS ign. to single male bullet and red/blk from harness wired(crimped) to the connector?

lookin to install a V.S. ignition and was wondering the best alternative to the scotch lock it came with.  pictures or drawn diagram would be great

I emailed them and they do indeed mount with the foot peg bolt.

where/how do hang the pipes?
