What was the wiring mistake that caused the lack of spark.

You will need to connect your multimeter in series between the battery and the live lead on the 20amp fused connection on your Fluke. Run the engine, but don't use the electric start as it will blow the multimeter fuse, then take a reading and ensure it's over 12 volts. You can't just test these on voltage across battery live and neutral as an AGM battery has more static voltage than the alternator can produce so it doesn't tell you anything. Try it lights on and lights off. If that doesn't make sense to you have a look at the end of my Bomber build thread for a better explanation.

Been saying to go back to points from the start to prove the bike. Reverse connection may have goosed the EI.

Just a thought. The problem is only half way sorted, you still have to deal with the rotor alignment issue. Hopefully it was caused by the wiring mistake, good luck.

Never had one so didnt know that, Roy you obviosly not worked on citroen 2CV or Ami 8 ALL the wires are Yellow with letter/number tags on the end, really good after 5 english winters!
The French never did get wiring right including some very modern stuff. They probably got a cheap price on a huge drum of yellow wire.  Sent from my Pixel 7 Pro using Tapatalk

That's an understandable mistake that's been made by many people. There's only Honda could use a black wire for a switched live. Goes against just about every wiring convention ever. In fact it's a bloody stupid idea. Hopefully you've found the mistake and it's now going to work.

If I remember correctly there are double female bullet connectors blue and yellow on the harness, the condenser plugs into those. Can't see from my photos as I have EI fitted so no condenser.

The condenser's on these should have a bracket that fits onto the coil mounts. Not a good picture but you can just see the condenser on top with its two screw bracket. Looks like it's already fitted to yours. Are they the new coils?

I would temporarily go back to points anyway. That way you can prove the bike's systems are correct thus possibly proving the EI is faulty. Bit of a pain with yours as they had you cut off some connectors. Why they can't provide cables already fitted with the correct connectors is beyond me. Pretty poor really, making you basically butcher the harness. If you then should find a fault on the bike you can rectify that then refit the EI later on, this time using the correct connectors instead of those horrible screw up things

450 bolt will not work before you try to find one, I’ll explain better when I’m back in the uk on Sunday
Thanks Ken. On hold 'till you get back.
Thinking about it....I was wondering whether fitting a grease nipple is likely to be needed as my bikes don't go out in the rain unless I get caught out, so I don't expect to be putting those bearings under any threat. When the salt goes down, the bikes go to bed until the spring.... I'm a bit of wimp !!. I did all my crap weather riding back in the '70s
Cheers,
Jerry
Don't think there's too many on here that would disagree with the salt out bikes in sentiment. Sent from my Pixel 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Fit a grease nipple like on the 400 OR modify a 500 through bolt to fit that has grease nipples on the end, dont think much would need to be done.
No the end bearings are not waterproof which is why you need to regrease regularly.
Q does the 450 twin have grease nipples on the bolt?
Yes the 450 has a grease nipple on the end of the bolt. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

I'm almost sure that the Boyer 350 system doesn't fit the 450. I did look into that when I did mine. There's talk on some forums of adapting a Bonneville Boyer to fit. Don't know what's involved with that but I don't think it was straight forward.

Is that 161k all in or do we still need to add 15% commission and then Vat on the whole lot. That would bring it to 222k.
