    your F.R.E.D could possibly be an electronic spark enhancer, mine has one either side of tank connected to points and coils, fitted by previous owner but work so not taking them off. they have fins on.
  8. My xs 400 was doing that, among other things, changed the plugs runs okay now (thanks to a bit of help from yoda,)

  11. having been sat a while I got the old bike out of the shed fresh fuel, batt and plugs. after a few days I discovered that the remote throttle stop screw was usless so I improvised with a small bolt, which holds it in the right place, however when I start it up it backfires then settles its self to a steady 1000rpm,s then for some reason revs its self to 3500rpm,s and sits there, the throttle linkage does not move so I'm at a loss as to why it does this. anyone got any ideas? les
