I've been trying to get the mag I sent my so called electrical genius to re-do the winding's for me to fire again. I think he should stick to race car ignition systems .
I found that I have two different sized wire's in the winding..After he said that he could not improve it enough for us to notice I asked him to just put it back they way it was. But now I dont know if he did or we have two sizes of wire in the winding.
I did find a small break in the winding which I'm sure is the problem, but man! it's alot more dificult then I realized to do it. I sure would like to know if that's the way it is with a small and big wire, or that's something he added. He has not returned any of my e-mails or phone calls. I think he knew he screwed it up and is trying to avoid me.

LOL well I guess you knew you were taking a chance there with the mods, no?

Thanks for the welcome Fairracer- I'm excited to find this second source for my new found passion of motorbiking! It's funny to me I've always been a bike guy and have wanted motorbikes etc, ever since I was a kid. I had an old KZ 550 for a while when I lived in Phonenix and it was the greatest thing I ever did for myself. Thinking I'll be needing another "real motorcycle " soon too..

For now though the Spooky is keeping me busy, and intrigued. The little bastard ran 36 mph for me the other day with the slightest of tailwinds on a dead flat. I'm pretty pumped about that and looking for just a little more..

Around here I get looks from everyone from bicyclists, to mosquito fleeters, to full on Harley gang members. Everyone loves the little Spook, especially me!

Yes I knew I was taking a chance, no big deal he did it for free. I just wish I knew if it had two different size's or he left it that way. I think I've seen them for like $20.00, I'll just get a new one then trying to get this one to work. But I would like to use this one to play with to see if we can get some more juice out of it.
Wow 36mph! That's actually pretty good...is that with a 36t sprocket?...Look around this forum there are many thing's you could do to improve your motor. Don't have enough time to tell all of them right now... It would'nt be a bad ideal to go to the introduction thread and introduce yourself, you dont have to but people would like to know who you are and what you are riding.

Here's how those plugs work....the air gas or "gas chamber" make the spark jump the gap and it make the spark a tiny bit hotter. I used to use this trick when my old Sportster would foul a plug- Pull the plug cap off and hold it a quarter inch or so away from the plug tip. It would make the fouled plug light off 90% of the time, but was very hard on the metal clip inside the cap!

Better to use a good, non-resistor plug and a good 7mm wire and cap.

Definitely the 36t sprocket. Is that really fast for a Spooky? Seems like as it has broken in my idle is smoother and I'm getting a little more power. Running regular octane fuel with motorcycle oil at recommended mixture ratios..

I'm pumped to learn more about how to make this baby hum. I'm looking for 40 mph. Just so I can try to keep up with a moped or scooter now and then.

The spark plug pulstar incorporates the use of a capaciter. I was looking at a display in a napa auto parts store this is one heck of alot hotter than a little hotter. The display showed stock style plug runing off same coil adjacent to the pulsestar! seeing is beleiving I know, but this got my attention. Sandia Labs in new mexico owns this creation. can't run one of there plugs in our engines. They have an inline capaciter that goes on the top of the spark plug then plug wire goes on top of that probly about 20 dollers to try , it will! chew up the electode faster.
