Hi Everyone,
I have a 74 cl360 and I just finished installing a Pamco electronic ignition. The installation went fine and I have a spark in both plugs, but I noticed after I installed the unit that my handlebar kill switch no longer works. When I put the handlebar kill switch in either of the "OFF" positions, I can still press the start button and get a spark.
Initially, I thought I made a mistake in wiring the Pamco unit to the black/white stock wire that runs from the kill switch to the coils, but when I tested the black/white wire with my voltmeter and the coils unplugged, I can see the voltage output drop to 0 with the kill switch set in the "OFF" position (see the attached image).
I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but I have the red wire from the Pamco unit attached to the black/white stock wire from the left coil at the connection to the other coil (see image). I also haven't actually turned the engine over and tested timing with the new Pamco unit installed, I've just checked for spark in both plugs.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I've been staring at wiring diagrams all afternoon and I'm not really sure where to go with this. Please let me know if there is anything else I can check or if I've incorrectly wired the Pamco unit to the kill switch, and thank you for your help.
