A cautionary tale. The temp supply was rigged up from a spare paint gun bottle and random scrap pipe and worked perfectly well on other bikes... with much smaller engines, doh!

However this was just used when we were attempting to set the final timing, the 1/4 coil and electronic ignition problems were discovered with the main tank on.

Happy to read that you got that sorted. Mixed bag of cats and spanners is an interesting mental image.

It's all good. A lot of useful ignition related links on this thread for anyone with similar issues or looking for an upgrade path.

It's been a while and due to various factors (having 4 other bikes doesn't help!) the old fella's finally taken the Kwacker out for a spin. And the report back...

Working better than it ever did! Thank f*ck for that Smile

Old Thread Alert!

The last post was made 2 years, 62 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful?
