    Got the new points and condensors installed and it runs much better. Charging is strong as well. Click the link for the video from today.

      Nice! Take it around the block? Too cold and icy?

        No chain and sprockets on it!!! And the tires are in no way usable other than to push the chassis around. Ive got some more spending to do before a ride will happen.

        I am getting a inconsistant break in the firing signal from the 1/4 coil according to the timing light. 2/3 is steady and rapid as one would expect to see. I think I have come this far and a few more dollars wont change the world, so I think new coils may also be in order.

        Get sprockets and chain and ridable tires and get a ride in someday.

            What about taking a crack at pulling the wires out of the coil and transplanting in another set? Cheap experiment anyway.

              The wires are soldered to a disc thats molded into the coil body. I had already ground the plastic back with the same idea of putting on new wires..but thats not gonna happen. Im just gonna replace them with the Emgos I found on Ebay and be assured they are factory perfect.

                New coils installed. Probably buy a new battery this weekend. Fire it up and i expect to see a little better performance from the engine.

                  New battery installed. The new coils make starting almost effortless now. Im well satisfied with everything at this point. Time to turn my attention at sprockets and a chain. Gonna stay with the 630 chain. So another one is resurrected and anxiously awaiting its first run down some asphalt.

                    Pretty sure I've still got the original sprockets for my 750. 11k miles. Can't seen any hooking of the teeth or what have you.

                      They were so bad when Frank and I first tore the bike down they went into the scrap bin. I will probably see what Z1 has when I make the big purchase.

                        According to JT sprockets the 650B model bikes had a 530 chain.

                        My point about the sprockets from my 750 is that you can have them for free if money is tight. They are in decent shape, however they are 630.

                          Its not an issue right now Ed. I went to the parts fiche and sure enough its a EK530SH 102 link chain . I was "assuming" it was a 630 when i posted. I will need tires before it can be ridden regardless. I will pick at it as I have told myself I will get 1 item a week from my paycheck. So I have a plan as it were..HA HA.

                            Took some measurements before starting the P ( PRETTY ) phase of the project. Gonna start sanding and stripping the tank so the body work can proceed.

                              Tank stripped and some filler applied to the one dent on the entire tank!! Body panels all sanded and ready for some primer soon as I get the tank straight.

                                Got the tank and then other body parts sanded. Was 7 and decided to call the day and get some chow. Probably get it all primed tomorrow..I hope.
