I have a ignition problem on this bike. I am not sure if the original owner had it wired correctly. The black/white wire from the points goes through a device that meters like a diode. I always thought that the ignition coil on the stator usually stayed AC and went directly to the ignition coil secondary circuit. Does anyone have any information for wiring? Would I burn out the coil if I bypassed the diode? I was thinking that it is wired wrong and that the diode is for the lighting circuit. Also the point gap is very narrow when the timing is correct. The backplate does not appear to be adjustable to allow for timing to be done that way. Any help would be great. By the way this is a great site for information...just not much on the PA50
