My 77 experiences high acceleration when idling and when touching the throttle at times. Engaging the choke seems to help out the idle and random acceleration. I'm trying to get a synch tool from a mechanic. But he also suggested that the valves might need adjustment. Any advice what it might...

Finally figured it out. It was a combination of the kill switch being completely rusted, and some wiring around the points. Thank you all for your help!! Now, if you can guide me to a guide on how to time the points- a completely dumb edition- I'd much appreciate it!

All the coils are putting out around 20k resistance. I tested Ampers and the third point is giving me 1.2, when I press the ignition. The other two are giving me .6-.8. I'm taking my battery in for testing tomorrow. Any other ideas? What controls the ampers through the ignition and points? I'm...

I measured the voltage. It's a stock regulator but I have a new one coming in. I tired it with the kick starter and still nothing. It's almost like the Cam is spinning too fast. What's the difference between me opening it with my hand vs the cams opening it? Do the wires need to be grounded?

Yeah the battery is reading properly and fully charged.

Voltage is reading 10 from where the coil connects to. And open it slowly decreases to .003+_ Thanks again for you continues help!

I'm getting a round a 6 on resistance across all three pistons. Open does go to OL.

Okay, I've cleaned up the points. Swapped the condensers. And I'm getting a really solid blue spark. The only problem is, that's with my hand manually opening the point. As soon as the starter is engaged, the spark goes away. Any ideas? New points?

I'll have to check what setting I had it in. Do you think the regulator is what's causing the firing on only one? It was never static it kept bouncing around even when the engine was trying to start

The voltage was jumping around. It would display 25. On my multimeter. But it was the same across the lines.

I checked the mA on each terminal where the coils connect. The third piston gives me around 12-13mA while the other two give me .4 I don't know if that helps or what can be determined from it. The points where installed by someone who had a light. I honestly don't even know how to use one...

I have swapped coils around, and they all work only on the third cylinder configuration. The hitches appear to be getting a solid snap... is there any way to check the condensers? Unfortunately, I have mechanical timing. Trying to save up for a electronic conversion

Hello everyone! I'm having issues with my XS750 not wanting to ignite. At first there was burps and pops, but never any ignition.I had it at a shop while I was away and the man installed a new third ignition coil and points. Now, the third is the only one producing spark. I've changed coils...

Thank you for the response! I took looked on my shifter to see what was going on. It turns out the shifter isn't reaching low enough. It's almost like cocking itself into position when I press the shifter down there's a small click and it goes into the next gear pretty easily. Is there some way...

Update number 1: Today I started to mess around with the shifter and all the gears go in completely with no hassle or anything. I haven't done anything to the transmission yet minus the primary chain swap and starter clutch. So I don't know what did It? Any suggestions? Many thanks!

I bought a 77 750 a few weeks ago, running decently. So far I've fixed the chain slapping by replacing the chain and fabricating a tensioner made of derlin. Changed the starter clutch. Cleaned the carburetor entirely. Unfortunately, I'm very timid when it comes to probably the biggest issue...
