Electronic Ignition 68 xlch
Allright, I am still having no luck with my bike and the lack of spark, I am looking for suggestions on an electronic ignition setup, I am no rich but I want something good. Also if you could tell me everything that I will need in order to convert it would be greatly appreciated, summer is flying by and the bikes sittting.

Nah, there's a great electronic ignition available for your bike. A guy on eBay sells them for about $150. The unit fits inside your stock distributor and (unlike most electronic iginitions) will work with the old coils. A friend is using it on his 49 pan and swears by it.

I get the impression you have been working on this for a while. A mag is pretty simple but it's particular about what it wants. What have you done? Have you followed the troubleshooting procedures in the FSM? They are really pretty good.

RE: Electronic Ignition 68 xlch
I didn't look at your make and model. Are you running the stock mag? If so, my link wouldn't do you much good. You can buy a distributor set up but a better route, at least to my mind, would be having your mag repaired.
Tell me your general location and I'll try to hook you up with someone that does mags.
