Topic: Points issue!!!! Help!!!

[cb500kawi305]

Hello everyone! I need some help cause I and a local shop have been through everything so maybe you guys can help out! Here’s what’s going on!

I’m running a motogadget M-Unit and my wiring diagram has the the AUX power running to my coils. From my coils (dynatek 5ohm) it goes to my points set up. My points set up is brand new, I gapped them and have them all set up. Issues is is that I am getting constant power to my points plate and from there if I turn my crank it turns off for about an inch. (Opposite of what it’s supposed to do). I’ve linked my wiring diagram below.

Am I supposed to get constant power to my plate? How do I switch when power is coming through the points? I have no grounds or shorts it’s just soaking up power. HELP!!! Thanks!

How exactly are you determining a half an inch crank rotation?  Degrees would be much more accurate.
If you understand how the points and advancer cam function, then it should be expected for the circuit to open/close.  That creates a dwell period for the coils to pack their charge before it shorts again, unleashing the spark in the combustion chamber.

If your static timing light is only coming ON for a breif measure of crank rotation, your points gap is too small.  And you need to adjust the points at their base attachment screw.  Then rotate the plate so 1/4 lights at tdc.  Then repeat the adjustment for 2/3 using it’s base attachment screws.  A dwell meter will verify that timing and gap are both in harmony.

Positive side of both coils should have 12v. w/keyswitch on.   Negative side of coils should cycle 12v. on/off
(0 volts with points closed, 12v. points open) The coils fire the plugs when the points open.
A little rusty, somebody correct me if I'm wrong...
