Home Built by Jeff Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share #553 Posted March 9, 2019 The inertia switch actually looks like a better idea, as others have said that the extra brass fittings can fatigue over time with the vibrations and fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheee! Posted March 13, 2019 Share #555 Posted March 13, 2019 Hey Jeff, some people fill the diff by pulling a half shaft out the side. Top it up there and reinstall the half shaft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240260280 Posted March 13, 2019 Share #556 Posted March 13, 2019 Or they pull the plastic vent pipe out and fill there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted March 13, 2019 Share #557 Posted March 13, 2019 You didn't show that you confirmed that you had power to the coil's + terminal. With your previous smoke show maybe you damaged the coil's power circuit. The ZX "match boxes" do go bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzagi1 Posted March 13, 2019 Share #559 Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) 1:10 Rookie mistake #1 Never ever drain the oil before removing the fill plug. Edited March 13, 2019 by tzagi1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Home Built by Jeff Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share #560 Posted March 13, 2019 The coil is new, so I didn't directly check it, but I did directly wire it to the battery. I will give it a better check tomorrow, but I am coming around to thinking the igniter is the issue. 20 minutes ago, tzagi1 said: 1:10 Rookie mistake #1 Never ever drain the oil before removing the fill plug. Absolutely. I have actually mentioned you should always do that in a previous video and totally forgot to do it this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the ZX distributors are known for breaking the magnetic ring under the stator. And they have bad bushings which let the sis pointed wheel contact the spikes on the outer ring. Lots of small things to check with a ZX distributor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee!

Lucky for you Jeff! I had to take a torch to my tranny to get the fill plug out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
