Well if you have been following my thread we successfully opened the bottom end and replaced a broken shift drum. I rode it the past Sunday 120 miles ran great no leaks however around 70 mph and in hi end it was a little boggy. This bike has a PAmco ignition and always started - idled - ran like a sewing machine and now shifts great but the top end speed barely get to 80. I pulled the carbs which were dirty looking but again - started idled great. Also I put new plugs and ngk caps and wires on it. Anyway I pulled the 086a carbs and they had some generic mains that said 223 AB-( the previous owner had been running pods) I also has a set of 0647b with the proper 105 kehin mains and 40 slow. These were clean and rebuilt but were given to me and have been sitting in a bag for a decade = I pulled bowls sprayed cleaner but everything looked new. I did not check needle level hoped it was set to 4 - Anyway put new spark plugs - put vacuum gauges on - had fan running - I was having an issue with them not idling all the way down like the idle screw was not touching and it was idling at 1500 rpms - again they have been on shelf for decade - anyway I got them where I thought was good went to go for a ride and I had forgotten to put the #4 plug wire on. I had been dicking around for at least 5 minutes with it unhooked - yay. So I plugged it in and went to resynch and it had a weak spark initially - now it seems to have no spark on all 4 and won't fire. Did leaving it unhooked damage the pamco or the coils. I checked the primary resistance on the pamco coils and it was 2.8 - 2.6 taking in the resistance of meter on both coils. I confirmed that I have power to the coils - any thoughts - can u still buy replacement pamco coils or use a different coil with the pamco system although I thought that the hi input coils are around this spec - so any advice on what I have done so I do not have spark and also why I was able to idle without idle screw touching at 1500 rpms would be great. I have both push and pull cables installed. Thanks Damon. after more research - I think I may have fried the pamco - man just trying to fix one thing now back to square one for a dumb mistake - anyone happen to have a pamco plate for sale - does Pete even still make them for 750? I could be wrong but that what I am afraid might have happened - I guess if I can't find. one its back to points or buy a dyna.
