PazyrykTheGreat Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I derped and got the P and B marks backwards. So I readjusted the valves and timing plate, but even still it's struggling to start and won't idle. It won't stay running without the throttle revved and when it is running it knocks and pings out of the heads and just sounds unhealthy.

PazyrykTheGreat Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 After hours of trying to adjust this distributor, I am now convinced that it is impossible to set correctly. I am now thinking of replacing it with an electric ignition. I found this one on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/DNEPR-URAL-Elektr-ZUNDUNG-NEU-Electronic-ignition-/190521668326?pt=Motorrad_Kraftradteile&hash=item2c5bf9f2e6 Any suggestions?

racepres Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Good price I think...But, I have zero issues with my Points setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckyde Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I noticed that on page one of this thread, in your picture of the points plate, there should be a hard plastic follower (tab) on the pivoting arm of the points which rides against the lobe of the timing device. Yours appears to have worn of or otherwise not present. Without this piece the point contacts will not open properly, the coil will not charge up properly and the ignition will be impossible to set. I could be wrong, but this is what I have observed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PazyrykTheGreat Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I glued some bits of carbon fiber rod to the point arm after when I first removed the starter the plastic follower broke apart. I figured it would work fine since I can still set the point gap, but it now looks like the carbon fiber isn't holding up to the wear and honestly I just don't want to mess with it anymore. So until I can order a new one I'll work on the other many broke things. I'll start with the oil centrifuge, which I don't believe I assembled correctly. I can't really tell which gasket is which on the parts explosion. http://www.armycycles.com/images/Catalog/5large.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PazyrykTheGreat Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Another question, if I get this ignition http://www.ebay.com/itm/URAL-DNEPR-ELEKTRONISCHE-ZUNDUNG-Electronic-Ignition-2-/141218302411?pt=Motorrad_Kraftradteile&hash=item20e14449cb Will it work with this type of coil? http://urlwww--ridenowparts--com.reachlocal.net/Twin-Power-TWIN-POWER-HIGH-PERFORMANCE-COILS-detail.htm?productId=7779853&ez=Electrical~q=fidaa95zz~r=fidaa95zztidaa1391zz~&pos=15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racepres Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 ^^ That link aint so good.Just use a Harley electronic ignition coil. [Not a Points coil] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PazyrykTheGreat Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I have a Harley style coil. Will that digital ignition work with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racepres Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Is it a Points coil? [more than 4 ohms]or is it an Electronic ignition coil? [less than 4 ohms] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PazyrykTheGreat Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 It's this type 4 ohms. Will this coil work with that electric ignition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racepres Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Trust Me...You won't know by looking at the design which has been unchanged for decades...Measure it w/ a Digital Meter.If it really is 4 ohms, [or less] it will be OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PazyrykTheGreat Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 But this electronic ignition has a different wiring set up. The current point plate only has one wire and it connects to the coil. This new ignition has many wires and I am not sure if I will know how to connect them. Are you sure the coil is compatible?

racepres Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Many Wires???Should be a Hot and a Trigger....Do you have a diagram??A Detailed picture...A tractor coil will make it fire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilge Keel Dave Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Just measure it with a free (with coupon) Harbor Freight digital voltmeter. Then you'll know if its a points or electronic coil. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
