I think I found my problem.

[Dgrey]

I have been following the advice of everyone that has been helping me along with this build up. I honestly really appreciate it.

 

So my thing was I had the following mods done.

 

2 weeks ago I put on the recelty ported jugs (www.herrjugsracing.com)

Noss Head with 19cc domes

200 watt Ricky Stator with attached adjustable timing plate set to +6 (set to +6 per the builder that did the port)

K&N Filter pods

V force 3 reeds

3 stiffer clutch springs and a billet impellar

I also installed a toomey TORS elimination kit

 

I am still on stock carbs.

 

I have the bike running on 100 octane gas @ 32:1. He recommended that I start out with 350 jets and go down from there.

 

 

So, I had one poerson recommend because the plugs were WHITE and/or looking like they were still bran new after a ride in 3rd down the street which it would not even do because every time I hit the power band it would break up, not make it through, and pop and crackle like a black cat firework until I went to low RPM in the next gear. Please note that it does run and idle PERFECT when its just sitting there.

 

Someone recommended that I try a 390 jet even though the man that did the port said 350 would most likely be fat and I would really probably need a 340 or a 330.

 

So, getting to tonights adventures. I put in 390 jets with BRAN NEW spark plugs AGAIN and take it down the street. It seems 1% better IF anything and in 3rd (popping like a champ and feeling like shit in the power band) I kill the engine and coast home. Check the plugs.... same shit they are white and looking like the are hardly used...

 

Okay, this has to be a mother trucking stator problem and im pissed. I take off the side case and am about the check the gap of the pick up coil WHICH I never checked when I installed it looks to me like it is broken.

 

Everything from Ricky Stator was pre-mounted and I never thought anything of it. I followed the directions for install.

 

Is this pick up coil BUSTED or WHAT!!!!! It looks like it is. The 1st 2 pictures are of the ricky stator pick up coil and the 3rd picture is of my STOCK stator pick up coil. Let me know what you think AND let me know the gap that should be between the pick up and the nubs on the flywheel.

 

Thanks and do you think this is my problem?

 

This is how I received the 200 watt ricky stator which I just finally noticed.... Normal? I though nothing of it because it was bran new.

 

 

The ricky stator pick up coil.

 

 

Below is a stock pick up coil picture

I could be wrong, but it looks as if your flywheel has been hitting / rubbing on it.

 

The gap should be set with just the thickness of a matchbook cover.

looks like it rubbed on the flywheel

[shee4speed]

Looks like the gap was too small and it hit on the flywheel.Def.a problem.

[Dgrey]

Okay so have we determined that it is broken? Would this cause the problems that I am having?

 

What I do not also understand is how you are supposed to adjust the pick up coil IF it is mounted on screws that do not slide the spot the are screwed into

[shanYE west]

Yes that would cause the problem you are talking about, because your gap would be too big..

 

Happy to hear you found the problem. :thumbsup:

If I remember right the holes are oblong so you can adjust it a little bit. :shrug:

Are you joking or do you really think that is the cause of the problem

I dont think there were right and left holes because is mounted vertically.......... Maybe the bottom holes that I didn't actually see because it was low on the motor.

It should.

 

Gap should be set about .017 Just stick a feeler guage in there and close the pickup coil onto the guage and tighten it down.

I JUST checked the side before I closed the garage door for the night and there is no slot to adjust the pick up coil. Do I just bend the metal on the coil itself to make it .017?

[shee4speed]

I put a RS timing plate but not the 200 watt one.So mine used the stock pickup and its adjusable by loosening the two screws.Is there any instructions how to adjust it?

[RZBansheeMan]

 

Here is the holes that should be oblonged for adjustment towards or away from the flywheel at the nub.

[_Hex*]

you should set it to .22. thats per john by the way

[Snopczynski]

Ok, two things here. One you shouldn't have removed the screws for that, all you had to do to adjust it was bend it on the bracket to set the gap.

 

Two, it does sorta look like it was contacting the flywheel, but it isn't broken. Some of those RS pickups dont stick out of the plastic casing very far. When mine came, I flipped out, but I ended up scratching some plastic of it with a razor knife and putting it on. It worked ok.

 

Did you check the gap before you unscrewed it?

Unless there is something I don't know about RS pickup coils, I say put the stock pickup coil on there, adjust the gap and you'll be good to go. And yes, if your pickup gap is off it'll cause a problem like you're having. You do know to adjust the pickup to the little tab on the flywheel, not the body of the flywheel, right?

 

P.S. You don't have to start a new thread for each thing you think of...its better anyway to use one thread so people helping you out have a history of what you already did and didn't do. :thumbsup:
