QuickStart 2000 - Performance & Troubleshooting

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Voltage
This unit is designed to work on 6 or 12 volts, but will work on as low as 5.2 volts.

Coils for Best Performance
Suppression coil wires work best
6 volts: 1.2 to 3 ohm coils
12 volts: 2.7 to 4.5 ohm coils

Testing ohm's on the Coil
If the bike cuts out at high arms, the coil is usually the problem. To test the ohm's on the coil, take off the wires on both small posts, test with an ohm meter using small post. Coils that are going bad will work with points and NOT work with the QuickStart 2000 unit.

Grounding and Voltage
This unit needs a good ground, and as MUCH VOLTAGE AS POSSIBLE.

Smaller Distributors
Harley Davidson made the distributor (breaker) shaft smaller on some distributors. So the best way to make the magna sleeve (or rotor fit tighter) is to use scotch tape up one side, over the top and down the other side of the shaft, then press on the rotor.

Proper Fitting for the Module Plate
On the 1965 Harley Davidson, the module plate needs to be modified for proper fit. Ed can do this for you, let him know your plugs- the gap should be .035 to .042.

Problems Starting the Bike
You still need to retard the distributor. Try starting the bike like you normally do, kicking the engine over twice, with the choke on and key off, then with the choke almost off and key on, it will start with the next kick. With the engine warmed up, it starts with the first kick without choking.
