yes i know i have to time it and will have that done. i will have the source and pulser ohm tested to see which one is bad but 99% of the time im told its the pulser that goes bad. and since its a sealed unit its unrepairable. i wish somebody knew how to repair a pulser coil that would be great.when i get them tested i will let you know. dont you think its weird that the bike would idle fine but when throttled it would run poorly like it was running on half a cylinder. when i first took the side cover off alot of rusty water ran out, i think that shorted out the stator.
