Sonreir said:The oil isn't a huge concern (yet).
Four stroke crank cases aren't pressurized, so no worries about running things with the stator cover off. You need that cover off to check dynamic timing. Ideally the bike is on the center stand when it's running, however.
The lack of oil is probably due to the pump that was used in the early Honda twins. It cam sometimes take almost a full minute for oil to get from the sump up into the head. It's not a very high pressure system like you get in modern vehicles.
For spark, there are a number of places to check.
First, verify that you're getting 12V out of the AUX port on the m-unit. Next check for voltage on the power wires for the Probe unit as well as each coil.
If you have power in all of those places, the problem is likely to be an issue with the ignition unit. Possibly the unit itself or possibly the way it's been hooked up.
It's also possible the coils are no good, but that is less likely (especially if they're new) because it would take something catastrophic to kill both of them.

I'm running a Pamco on my CB360 and can vouch for it being very good, for what it's worth. After enquiring about the Charlie's Place ignition I started a thread that might be of some use deciding between the two, but probably not. Makes for interesting reading anyway: http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=67987.0
As you said, there's so much positive and negative stuff out there about both units and so many opinions. In the end I settled on the Pamco because of the electronic advance and generally there seemed to be more help out there with it, more people using it.
