Glad it has gone to a good home there Eric, i am pleased you have got it now , because i just didnt get to ride it anymore with other things on the go, and it was a shame cos it is a cracking bike. I spent months fine tuning the carburation and the cdi system is spot on with new wiring and brand new pickups. Everyone that rode that bike said it pulled really clean with no flatspots. Sound the bollocks too. Also the loss of about 4 stone of rider weight will make it even happier :oops: :oops:
Ride it like you stole it!!

Yippee for you. Keep us posted on your progress. I installed a new seat cover on my 400 and am now replacing the front disc brake pucks. I replaced my point system with the Boyer Bransden electronic ignition about 7 years ago and it works great. I might have a few parts from the old points system if you need them, not sure what I have but if you need something in this area, I can see what I have.
Cheers, Tom

well this is the story of what happend to my bike at the north western rally
botom mount screw for the exciter coils snapped off at the backplate
the spacer must have come off when the screw moved back no sign of it must have got chewd up by the flywheel the exciter coils have had a collision with the flywheel to
they still have perfect resistance and think they would work if the wernt so beat up
and to cap it all something has cut the charging coil as well
last pic aint to clear of the flywheel

Unlucky that eric, but at least you know what is wrong , it will be intresting to see when you have converted over to points if it runs any better.
you got a bargain there from patrick £35.00
cheers

got it started but the bugger aint charging need to do more tests ran out of time work becons 
|

gave up on the 400 set up and changed over to the points off the 250 working fine charging ok to just need to tweak the timeing but it is good to go for the northern

Thats got to be a good decision Eric.You can always cobble up a solution to a points related problem at the side of the road.With the cdi if that packs up at the side of the road you are bollocksed.Just a little routine maintenance will keep it in fine fettle and you should see no difference in performance.

with a non charging bike you should get a couple of wks riding without lights on,..dont ask how i know, ok thats how my 400 rode for the last 3000 mls, dont use it much now, cant beat the eleccy ig when its working good,....
|
simonh

personally, and dont quote me on this could it could be complete bollocks
points take out the inconsistencies of the crank, all fire when they should, not on a mark on a badly timed crank
another reason why s3 is quicker than kh400
