hmm looks like its in decent shape. I think those parts will transfer over from the other motor. Im just nervous about buying another motor that doesnt run.
Is there a large difference between the 80 and 81 head? I know thats when they ditched the PD carbs

Re: WTB motor
Sounds like it could be reasonable. Whats that include? Condition? Pictures?
Re: WTB motor
Yeah, they also changed the mounting and switched to shaft drive.
Yeah 800 with no title is a bit steep, I picked up the previous motor out of a 80 in rough shape with no title.
How much would you want for your motor?

Re: WTB motor
Year doesn't matter as long as it's pre 83'...I think that's when it changed over...having a brain fart. It's going into a cb500 frame anyway. I'm near bwi, if you know where that is
Re: WTB motor
Haha sorry thought my profile displayed that.
Unfortunately Im a bit far away I'm in Maryland.
What kinds of parts does it need?

Re: CB Frankenstein
It was the resistors. Ugh. Thanks for the help
I will continue to update the build as I finish

Re: GM HEI: Cheap and Extremely Effective Ignition Upgrade
Damn it, last time I trust some one at work when it comes to electronics.
Ran out to the shack and put in the proper resistors and all is right in the world again. Now to get this beast started and then tidy up the wiring. Thank you all for your help

Re: GM HEI: Cheap and Extremely Effective Ignition Upgrade
The rectifier in the picture is a part of the factory wiring for the neutral safety switch and clutch, it is hooked up properly, I just didn't show the full wiring to save a little time on the diagram. I unsoldered the black wires for pickup ground and soldered them to a ground wire which a then ran...

Re: GM HEI: Cheap and Extremely Effective Ignition Upgrade
ok just wired up the old spark units...normal operation...
so it has to be something with the HEI wiring/setup

Re: GM HEI: Cheap and Extremely Effective Ignition Upgrade
thats correct.
I grounded the pickups directly to the chassis still the same.
im getting 1.139 k ohms at G with the IGN ON.

Re: GM HEI: Cheap and Extremely Effective Ignition Upgrade
hope this is legible
(I left out the tail light as it is not hooked up yet and the neutral safety switch, its hooked up just not in the diagram)

Re: GM HEI: Cheap and Extremely Effective Ignition Upgrade
Hmm...that could explain it...could this also be symptoms of bad HEI modules?
I will have to investigate tomorrow work stole too much of my soul today to investigate tonight.

Re: GM HEI: Cheap and Extremely Effective Ignition Upgrade
Wow pretty good deductive skills, that is is my wiring. I'll have to get the exact resistance of the pickups tonight. I believe they are 1/2 watt resistors (i'll verify). I know after the diodes i'm getting 539 ohms. Additional info: I hooked up the old coils and i get the same result From G on the ...
