Hey all,
I was working on making a guide for testing the Hondamatic ignition system and went to test the pink and green wires and got no resistance. I made sure it wasn't dirty leads or anything funny like that. After that was verified, I started the bike with a timing light and found out this is for the advance and sure enough it does not advance to the | | marks when giving it some good throttle. It DOES move from N to F like it's supposed to. I tried my homebrew CDI and the original just to make certain. Apparently I've been driving it like this for a long time and never noticed.
With that said I suppose this means I need a special tool to remove the rotor right? If yes, where can I get it? And who can you recommend to send it off to get it rewired? The rest of the stator ohm'ed out within spec.
Kind of funny I've driving it like this for years and never really noticed anything.
