vacuum ignition advancer

[pgg]

Dave, Those dynacoils don't need a ballast resistor - just remove the resistor and connect the wires direct. Sounds like the wires under the left crankcover could be buggered though. I'd strip the whole mechanical advance unit, clean it and lubricate it then try again. I'd also check out the advance unit wire connections under the upper sidecover. Also all dynacoil wire connections - also is the rectifier bolted down firmly on the rear wire connections.

Sorry to sound like a broken record, but I still say it sounds like a problem with the pick-up coil wires.

thanks again people, it looks like ive no option but to get the soldering iron out.Oneday somebody will invent a bike with no electics......I hate rewiring
is it true i dont need a ballast resistor
It took me 2 months to rewire that.......I really do hate rewiring
and if i leave the ballast resistor in will it cause any problems.!!!!!
Oh and by the way i have fixed the central heating so at least ive got some heat back in the shed......

well having exhausted all other ideas , ihave finally done the rewire on the primary coils and to be quite honest i think i need new ones . the wire on the coils is that bad ,they actually disintergrated as i tried to get solder to still
surely the primary coils themselves cant be that hard to get hold of. even here in the uk???

Ignition coils

Dave, if you don't have any luck finding some coils in the UK, then I may be able to help. I have two XJ11's that I'm parting out, and I still have the coils. If you are interested, e mail me at xs11parts@hotmail.com.
