I bought 7mm Belden solid copper wire from my local NAPA store. Less than $1 per foot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Might be cracked coils. They'll cut up when everything warms up. Not sure that this is related directly, but I wonder if it's way too rich. Might check all mixture screw settings. Turn each one all the way in, very gently, counting the number of turns exactly, to the 1/8 of a turn. I think we mostly agree that they should be about 2-3 turns out from the lightly seated position (bottomed). May not help, but won't hurt to check. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Aftermarket trunk guard lights. MK2 I smashed a couple. I also have a few that have faded to pink. Who originally made these accessories? Can I get replacement lenses? http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/15/ymaqe7ed.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pinholes in diaphragms? If you can't pull enough vacuum against diaphragm, you can't pull needle open far enough to get all it will do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There are several safety mechanisms on the bike that could fail. Side stand switch seems like a more common failure. Mine was disabled when I bought my bike. Have you checked or cleaned the stop/run switch on the right handlebar? They can go wonky and kill all your power. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Starter and stator replaced? Nice. That will save a lot of labor down the road. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Correct, my 23k-ish reading was always through the coil secondary. All checks (cap, wire, coil primary, secondary, etc) are within spec. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Radio Shack has a 12V led for 2.49 I think. Jeff knows why I know this. A First Gen should have a temp gauge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe that I've read that 8mm won't fit inside the coil, but 7mm is correct. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's not permanent, but I'm fixed for now, thanks to the suggestion by one of the board members Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes! This exactly. Jeff has been a huge help through my ordeal, and before with his valve shim tool. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bad ground between RR and battery. Inconsistent system voltage was causing a host of problems. Battery, stator and RR were all good. Currently running a jumper wire (14ga) straight from RR black wire to batt neg until I have time to trace the actual problem in the harness. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You could set idle at 3000 rpm and check voltage across battery, then check from red to black on RR plug (each side) and see if you get much difference. Long story short: I have a bad ground somewhere in my harness and wasn't getting full RR output to the battery. My thread reply count is about 170 posts getting help on it. You'll get a lot of help on it. I you have the time, read through my post. It's about the 4th one down in the First Gen tech talk. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What are your symptoms? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just went through similar pains myself. Hope I can help. If not, the others surely can/will. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On my '87, it originates from the neg batt cable as a smaller wire (12 ga?) piggybacked on the main ground, about 4 " from the battery it has a quick disconnect, but continues into the main harness and soon exits the harness to terminate at the coil mounting bracket, right behind the throttle cable cable junction box. On the left side of the frame. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Absolutely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This problem also went away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was wondering if it was going to be that way. Mine probably doesn't do DC, but no might be able to to borrow one from work, if we have more than one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a clamp-on meter somewhere around here. I shall tear into it sometime this weekend between the honey-do's Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine does this as well currently. Not sure about why. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The other one, 6 pin (5 really, 2 Rd, 2Blk, 1 Br).
