new things...but this project is now off to the shop for completion since I have some issue with not trusting myself to make it road worthy. ps....
Tire clearance isn't an issue at all. I have to figure something out. I really do not want to compromise the look. [IMG]
Other side of the tray.... [IMG]
Not sure if I am visualizing that correctly....just flip it over? or place it outside of the bike, underneath of the electrics tray?
Not sure how I could do that. There is no more space available for the regulator. CPU fans(and anything computers are my profession) are a good...
Does everyone remember the complicated wiring mess? [ATTACH] Here is the almost finished result minus inline fuses. [IMG] [ATTACH]
Yup, she checked all the boxes she found out about the motorcycle and was like "so where do I sit?" She def got major points there. Now I have to...
Let's update this. Lost a job; worked a shitty job(1+ years); moved bike to friends garage instead of storage unit; got married; got old job back;...
I feel I should update this. Do not waste you money on this battery. I used it maybe 2x to start the bike and even charged it with its specific...
Don't take on a project unless you have 3 years.
like this build....certainly more organized than mine
I have have this: [IMG] saying it just involved welding is an understatement. [IMG]
ok now I know the motor works. I'm going to organize the wires(aka tear it apart again and meticulously solder everything together and place the...
I has been rejetted also. The no spark condition was the result of me chopping the harness apart and minimizing it. I had to isolate everything...
Check and adjusted valve clearances...done. Bench sync...doubt it I'll start with your advice tomorrow. My concern was trying to get a spark out...
Well it's been a while but it still doesn't start...yet(very close). It has handlebars, tank, and seat. [IMG]
Since I have yet to find anybody locally, I wil pay for all the shipping, return postage, and insurance. All I need from the lucky volunteer is...
Anybody with an xj550 that I can test my tci unit out on?
Checked and double checked everything I'm now seeking an xj550 to test the tci unit on if anybody can help me out that would be great. Of i will...
What should the black/white wire coming out of the tci be connected to?
Yeah those aren't even hooked up. I bypassed all the switches and relays. Are they supposed to be hooked up if I simplified the entire harness?
So after going through some wires I found a bad ground(now fixed) and an additional wire that was not hooked up correctly. Now both primary and...
So a little circumcision and then test :D
So I'm thinking it might be the coils, what do you guys think? [MEDIA]
If you are in the yard this week am in the market for tci unit for an xj550 [IMG]
Still no spark so probably the tci unit. Anybody have a spare one?
Looks like the caps might be the issue of no spark. Some are giving 5k in resistance, one much higher, and one not at all. I guess it doesn't hurt...
What's the resistance supposed to be on the plug caps? Coils and ignition pick ups seem to look good in terms of resistance. Grounds seem to be...
Waiting for the chacal/heavy hitters chime-in...:)
Looks almost exact I might be missing the ground on the tci. Edit: I just realized I checked that today:(
ok so custom wiring isn't anything new for me but I'm left scratching my head on this one. I'm pretty sure it's not getting any spark at all. I...
Na not yet. Antigravity battery ran out of juice, so I have to get a special charger for it...and I just got married so that comes with its own fun.
Yes all the vacuum ports are capped. There is no tank on it so no petcock. I could probably open screws up and remove the filter. That way there...
Yeah and its leaking fuel from where the fuel filter is located. I'm just going to take it out for now. The peacock is basically an on/off valve...
Well I fiddled with the idle speed screw and even added a little starter fluid, but nothing. Yes I used the choke. I'm kinda stumped.
well it's finally ready to start running after 1.5 years of building except I do not know where to troubleshoot next. It has a custom harness, all...
awesome thanks man. I'll try it out when I get home from work.
for the life of me I cannot help to feel I'm putting this together wrong. Granted my entire rear swing arm is custom(mono shock conversion) but I...
Ok found it. Now to the starter issue. If the solenoid clicks and 12v is shown all the way to the starter, is it a safe bet that I will need a...
Yes everything is brand new. Done by a reputable shop and I have the bill of sale and it has the list of parts/labor plus me checking in every so...
well a little wiring update with a couple questions and pictures! Yes there are minor details with paint and polishing to do but that will be...
When you make your own harness a noose is never too far away. J/k that's the string from the garage door
It's ppg0031, 3 stage. I'm pretty sure it's enamel.
Meh electrical is a pain but here is some paint Wires....but first lemme take a selfie [IMG] Paint [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Windows and Mac OSX directions here. It's an excel table you change values in.
thanks. for the help. here is what the fancy calculator came up with. [img]
Ok I'm a little confused but these are the ones I can up with as per your suggestions. These are the ones needed to be in "spec" 1 Intake:...
I used a blade gap tool from advanced auto and it had SAE as well as metric to the thousandth. I rounded them to make it easier. I really with the...
I just need a verification and suggestion on the ones with a question mark. Thanks, Stu 1: Intake: .10mm Shim: 275 Needs: 270...
