    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I guess the technical name is the contact breaker. My entire assembly is all bent up and stripped.
 
The picture I'm trying to post is the part I need. I've located a contact breaker, I just can't find a replacement inner section. I believe it's the centrifugal advance unit as nessism stated. 15576914514722685248741969153041.jpg

Also, does anyone have a factory service manual online they could share? I seem to have misplaced my hard copy.
 
Thank you very much! So I have reached a point where the only big hurdle remaining is the wiring. I believe this bike had the big fairing on the front end before. However I will not be using that.i only want the bare minimum wiring. I'm still digging through the manual, but wiring diagrams and this portion is for sure my weak spot. 15577736192003098310967630728378.jpg
 
As stated earlier, I'm bad a the electrical work. I'm currently stuck. I can't seem to get any power at all. When I turn the switch on, I'm not getting anything. Tail light, headlight, Horn, all turn signals are not connected yet.
