magneto,etc. not firing on right side

[Triton Thrasher]

How did you fix it?

[a10 gf]

i hadn't tightened the points enough and they were wide open

It's sometimes the small details that makes the big problems! (but still, get rid of any resitor-caps, one day that detail may make trouble as well). Congrats on being back on the road, in the sun with all the girls lol Lucky you!

yes,the small details. i will use the resistor caps until i can get the other. after 6 years, i can't seem to get anything i need here in mexico except spark plugs. my 2 main suppliers are in edmonton, alberta and albq,new mexico.
you blokes with parts near by is damn lucky!just under 100 miles now and running and shifting is sweet-oh yeah!

Hi I'm new to this forum, I've had a miss on my Super Rocket, at idle for a couple of years, but recently it got so worse that it quit on one side, I checked timing, changed plug, plug lead, and plug cap. It turned out top be the magneto pick-up. It was one I bought a few years ago, with a hexagonal base, a reproduction one. I bought a Lucas NOS pick-up for $28 from Rabers in San Jose, and the problem was solved. Idles nice too. Hope you've resolved your issue.

[pedrochapala]

you found the same thing i did. those hex things are made in china and aren't worth a damn .
i have got parts from rabers in the past as well but got lucas posts from  my guys in abq,nm and edmonton alberta. the beezer is running super and at just under 200 miles now. i think i'm ready now for some longer trips. yeeehaaa!!!!
i will post those 2 suppliers in the approp. forum on here if anyone is interested.
what a great forum this is!!!!!!!!!!!!!
