Kick bang smoke
« on: May 25, 2010, 02:44:59 PM »
I recently got my 72 CB500 all together so I put gas in it.  I kick it like 5 times and produces a louder than usual pop form one cylinder then smoke comes out slowly.  I kick it 5 more times and the same thing happens and every once in awhile i get like a half kick and  it just stops from like compression.  It ran good but had an oil leak so I rebuilt it and now its doing this.  It has a Dyna S ignition if that makes any difference.

Sounds like your coils are hooked up in reverse or your 1/4 and 2/3 are mixed up...

Forgive me for lack of technical terms, but I believe the center part of the points electronic ignition can be installed 180 degrees off and cause what you are experiencing. It happened to me when I installed my electronic ignition the first time.
It has been a couple of years since the experience.

That could be.   I remember now after I had them all off going "Hmmm...  I should have numbered these".  I knew that one coil fired the 1-4 and the other did the 2-3 but I wasn't sure which ones, so I stuck them on there and I guess I forgot that I had no clue which ones when where exactly. 

I'm off for a night of partying so I'll have to look into that tomorrow.

Just for a bit of levity Kick bang smoke sounds exactly like what I have to do each morning in order to wake up, get moving and work out all the aches and pains in places I don't even remember having! except I added loads of coffee to the list.
