Picked up a BS Homer -no spark but zaps your finger
« on: July 15, 2016, 02:38:30 PM »
Hello everyone, I'm not new to forums, just this one.
I picked up a mid-60's Homer (not sure what year ???) in rough shape along with a Moto Guzzi Robin in even rougher shape for $80 for the pair ;D -no titles though :-[.

The Homer had s stuck piston and was partially disassembled, but mostly complete. The wiring up to the ignition switch from the magneto, coil, and neutral switch were hodgepodged together.
I've since fixed the stuck piston issue and I'm trying to get spark on this fella.

I've cleaned the points and tried to set the gap but the available manuals I've found here and online show only the BS 50S which has a different case and different timing marks.

I've got enough spark to zap your finger :o when it's between the spark-plug wire and case but not enough to show any spark on a plug (including the new CJ6 plug).
I've had to guess at the plug type because the BS 50 uses a B6 plug which is way to big for this Homer.

I'd like to replace the points and condensor but haven't figured out replacement part numbers for them.

If someone could supply a valid wiring diagram, part numbers for the points/condensor, and correct spark plug type I'd be super stoked ;D!
Thanks in advance!

Alrighty! Got some good news! Figured out some wiring ;D -enough to get spark!
Got this little fella to sputter and idle for a while but seems like the timing is way off.

Need some help setting the timing on this.
Anyone ????
