miss no more!

by elimination, the stock coil was incompatible with the ford edis. replaced it with a ford cop and the missing is gone and engine runs flawlessly.

map balancing

using mj on a650 single the load needle jumped around a lot- maybe to the point of not being usable. tried several different methods to snub the needle including an orfice fitting, sticking a q tip up the vac line. not much room for anything large like a canister on the bike. found a real small 1/4 ...

engine runs much better now. have set trigger wheel alignment at plus 5 deg., it was retarded about 1/2 tooth. have coil neg connected to pin 10. still a bit of popping coming from exhaust, perhaps some carb adjustment will help. software tach much steadier now also. thanks for all the advice.

yes, i have the coil neg connected to pin 10, runs better than on pin 12 and have taped off the pin 12 wire. did the cyl leak test with air and have between 10-15%, pretty well sealed so that eliminates valve lash. have opened the case, and checking the trigger wheel-p/u coil clearance with a feeler...

missfiring moto

have not checked the wheel because its inside the case but will open and check. the edis coil out wire you mention, i had it tied to pin ten, then to pin 12 and it seem to run a little better. i guess the other wire is left disconnected?
