Re: '63 r60 losing power after warmed up
Chrishea, typically warped flanges would make for a high idle when warm because it would be sucking air in the flange. I have had this problem! I did not see that as one of his complaints, but if it is then you might be correct!
I have seen this as almost an uncontrollable idle when hot, it just revs because its sucking the air in through the flanges.

Re: '63 r60 losing power after warmed up
Ziggy, going back to what you said in your paragraph. You said it starts 1 kick when cold but it needs to cool down to re-start. THAT sounds like the coil is not good but you said you just got a new one from Vech. I would call him and tell him that and tell him it has no power when hot. Also tell him all the other items you checked (fuel filters, etc) and let him tell you what it might be. Sounds like a weak coil but its hard to believe because you got a new one. Does it start hot if you jump start it? If so, that really sounds like a coil problem!Ziggy wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 11:15 amNew to forum. Power loss consistent after bike warms up - 12 to 15 miles of riding. Recently cleaned magneto, installed new coil, points, condenser (from Vech, who has been great.) Properly set gaps, timed ignition. Also changed rings on one cylinder with low compression. New plugs, good spark. Starts on one kick cold. Bike will re-start if left to cool some, but exhibits pretty immediate power loss when up to temperature. Bad coil? Condenser? Both? Any way to test either?
