    Hello, thank you! But anyone can help with my question? Is it possible to use Rectifier/Regulator combo on SOHC engines? My lights are getting brighter when Im opening throttle, and dimmer on idle.

    Tried that. No big difference :) Bike was a bit easier to start but, lacked power on high rpms and after it warmed up, idling was poor and sometimes it died. I'll try Sandrew's setup without any foam :) and let you know! I'll also try new carb setup with H-pipe and also let you know :D Keep...

    Thanks, That's great! I'm wondering what needles on the highest position means. Highest means rich mixture or lean mixture?

    My XS 400 Cafe Racer Project

    That's interesting... i thought, that with big pod filters, i have to much air and the mixture is too lean when i open the throttle rather than too rich. My mixture screws are 3,5 turns out and if i screw them in about 1 turn, it starts popping from mufflers. My spark plug looks like this after...

    Haha. Exactly there is no CDI. BUT if you thinking about rewiring whole bike, you should think about changing your ignition to newer, electric type. It's much easier to maintain, than points. Unfortunately i realized that after i rewired whole bike... So i'm stuck with points :) cheers.
