I am trying to get my Paso running again. It has a history of electrical problems. Would someone be kind and tell me why my flywheel cover looks different than the one pictured here in Paso World? Also, if you have a spare moment or two would you look at all the pictures on my Paso electrical page () and tell me if what I have looks different from yours?

One last request. Is there a page or article that lists all available replacment electrical units and contacts for those companies? I hear that the Digiplex is no longer available and that the Kokosun(sp?) is a better way to go in any case. Are there others besides Kokosun?

Thanks a lot for your time.

Hey, DucSoup! I do hope we can help you get your Paso running well again. Sounds like you've had a bad time - that's terrible about your bike sitting in that shop for so long. When you get your bike going again, go and park in front of the shop, leave it idling, go in, walk around, say in a loud voice 'Bad vibes in here!' (or something similar) walk out, and ride away.

Your electrics certainly look different to mine. I have Kokusan. I recently installed the relay mods designed by Gerhard and Jon Slocum to cure difficult starting, and my bike is running beautifully again. The installation was not difficult for me to do on the Kokusan system, even though I'm not good with electrics.

I think all alternator covers have only one pickup lead coming out, but there are two wires inside, coming from two pickups.

From what I have read, the Kokusan system is better than Digiplex. You may have to convert, and install the Gerhard/Slocum mods. If you spend some time on the web, you should be able to find the required information and sources. I'll let you know if I see anything.
