Primary + Secondary = ~15k
You might see slight variations in your readings due to resistance of the power wires, plug wires (individually) and the Yellow/Blue wire connections. You're in search of a total within the accepted range (15k for 5.O coils).
Comprende - looks like I am all there so that is sweet!
The wiring on the Pamco ignition is COMPLETE! Finding that four bullet female meant I could tackle the job today. Step one was to solder on the remaining bullet and ring terminal. Done and done. Then I began by wiring the electronic advance unit (sensor side) to electronic points plate.
Very satisfied with these bullets so far. A nice snap and they're in! I moved over to the other side of the unit, out the coil end. Two leads acting as signal wires, one to each coil. The ring terminal connected to a frame ground, I chose this nice bracket with the spark plug holder in it and gave it a light sanding before attaching. And finally the red bullet to the four female black w/ white stripe connector. This is (I believe) +12v off the ignition switch.
At this point I figured it was time for a test run. Everything was loosely laid out but I didn't want to affix it to it's final home just yet in case there were any issues.
I had HOPED to be able to run this with the tank off...
...but I made a mess with the temporary fuel lines so lets just move on and pretend I didn't do that. It seemed my only option was to install the tank fully (with the dreaded cross flow tube) before I continued. This meant finalizing the install somewhat more.
PS: I also installed new fuel line off the petcock with some cool "moose" clamps. The two way quick disconnect valve will be going on that long crossflow tube.
I started by bundling the sensor side bullets on top of the e-advance unit. This seemed to be a decent coupler. I convinced them to stay put with a zip tie.
The box was then pressed into place just in front of the battery, it was a perfect fit.
From here I zip tied the bundle through the frame. It is quite solid, but not to tight to worry me. I snaked the right side out, along the frame, and to the rest of the coil wires.
The other side also went out, along the frame, and met up with the points signal sender unit.
Both sides of the unit are zip tied under the main frame rail to keep them from getting snagged on the tank or anything else. You can see in this picture from under the tank.
And with the tank mounted everything is still good and snug!
All in all I was very happy with how this wired up! The bullets are high quality and the installation was relatively unintrustive. No changes to the stock harness were made, and all the necessary parts found a home. Now for the big moment....
Yes! Yes! Yes! She runs and sounds
awesome. I continued with the install and adjusted the points plate with the timing light. After a slight adjustment, the fire mark is spot on and the advance kicks in when it is supposed to (Very early, 1300rpm with this unit). Sweet!
Now just waiting on those new plug caps and I think this bike will be really happy. I still plan on decreasing the float height to about 24mm as it is still seeping out the float bowl tops. Really happy with the Pamco so far, and I think the bike is to! Took it one rev to 5k and it snapped up no problem. Will wait for the new caps before trying more.
