'77hammerguy Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Hi I'm in the middle of converting my'77 XS 750 from points to cdi but I need a diagram of the actual wire possitions on the ignitor box as I don't have a doner bike with the right harness. If anyone has a pic of one on a bike with wich cylinder goes where that would be great! Thanks Paully K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'77hammerguy Posted May 28, 2005 Author Share Posted May 28, 2005 I figured it out! I had everthing mirror image. I have now timed it and its running better than ever. If anyone else has an XS with pionts I would strongly recomend converting to cdi. If you need help let me know and I'd be glad to post a step by step of mine including pics.

'77hammerguy Posted July 6, 2005 Author Share Posted July 6, 2005 Sorry it took so long to get back to you, my computer was all messed up. The conersion is easy, I bought all the parts needed on ebay. You will need a spark box, ignion advance plate, pick up coil, some wire, staycon spade conectors, and a timing light. You will need to make one harness going from the spark box to the ignition coils. Let me know when your ready and I'll send you some pics on locations and wiring possitions.

Hello, I am running a yamaha xs750 d model (1976) which has points and condensers. Will your conversion work on my model. I can get hold of a unit (complete) but I need some idea how to install it. If you had success in this conversion, I would be most greatful for any help regarding this conversion. All the best, John Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kslrr Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I also have a '77 XS750D. I plan on implementing this idea, using the stock points with doubled springs to trigger the HEI. Also on my Honda CB350F. http://www.mynode.com/2wheel/?t=simple.htm...=hei/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
