I'll give the carbs another go and take everything apart when I bought the coils I put new wires and boots and plugs

Hopefully someone can help me out last week I was riding home when outta of no where the right cylinder stopped firing I pulled over had a drink and after about 10 minutes I started it up and it was running on both again I almost made it home and it started missing again I figured it was a bad...

It's still rideable so I'll wait for the parts to show up and tear into it

Thanks guys hopefully just tipping it will make it slide out

Thanks guys hopefully just tipping to the left it'll fall out

Thanks for the info I ordered a nos pushrod and actuator from ebay I sent the motor out and had it rebuild with new clutch rebuild. When I build the bike How hard do you think it will be to get the broken piece of pushrod out

I'm hoping someone can help me out the clutch on my bike is barely working. It's almost all free play and when I try to adjust the play out of it , it won't kick over or slips real bad I removed the sprocket cover and noticed that the pushrod is in 2 pieces is this normal for a 79 Thanks for...

I bought a rectifer/voltage regulator from mikes it was super easy to wire up and seems to be working great ud definitly recommend one

I will for sure. I already fried a battery from over charging I'll see if any of my friends have a volt meter to check for a difference

It's up and running the rectifier/voltage regulator came from mikes it's charging right at 14.9 volts at 5000 and sits around 12.9 idling I also bought on of those voltage gauges USO now there's no question if it's charging while out riding Thanks again for the help

Thanks for the help this thing is driving me crazy I did read all the other treads and everything tests out find I ordered the rectifier/regulator with the link provided I'll let you know how it works out once it shows up

Sorry I'll stop. My question is will a new style rectifier/voltage regulator form mikes that's sold for a xs650 work on my 400

I've pin pointed my charging issue down to the voltage regulator I took one off my lawn tractor but I think it's only for the headlights cause my alternator goes as high as 18 volts at around 5000 rpm can anyone suggest a reliable regulator that's easy to wire up

Well the problem isn't solved the field coil always has power to it and drains the battery anyone have a idea about how I've wired it up wrong

It seems to be fixed after tracing every wire and lots of volt meter testing it's finally charging it runs 12.80 at idle and goes up to 14.7 at 3000 rpms I might dare say I've finally figured out how it works and how to test it all

I love this bike I just need to get it dialed in so I can get some serious milage on it

It seems every time I think it's fixed something else pops up. But that's why I keep her

Thanks for the info I stole the voltage regulator off my john Deere riding lawn mower and it's charging perfect right at 14.7 volts

I'm having trouble with my charging system. I think I've got it nailed down to the voltage regulator should I replace both and get a rectifier/regulator or just a regulator my rectifier seems to be working fine

My 79 that seat on the fender is gone now
