Back with a 500 ....

4 into 1 in the US do a pettern auto advance

I've got a used one coming - fingers crossed

Another small item off the list - big thanks to Julie for the tank trim .... used the original clips to give an "original" look

Nice touch with the clips!

Well it lives - even after I've been tinkering

Big thanks to Jeremy (Jezzapeach) for supplying the requisite cam and some allen head screws to try !!

New Honda plate fitted and points gapped and then static timed ....... was a bit of trepadation when pressing the starter button but it fired in to life

Did the dynamic timing check with a light as well and all seems about spot on - also changed the plugs for a set of Denso X22ES-U

Lastly I'd got a NOS coil for 1&4 so fitted that as they are aftermarket very cheap looking ones that are fitted - will keep an eye out for a genuine one to replace 2&3

New to me light bracket / number plate holder arrived so dropped that off at the powder coaters

Cheers

Curious why go backwards from electronic to points?

Curious why go backwards fro electronic to points?

Ted - I've already got Hondamans electronic system on its way .... then found out I already had a system fitted which wouldn't be compatible - with Hondamans if it ever lets me down I can revert to the points at the side of the road

Just me being odd I suspect

Ah I understand that Simon fwiw when I drove cars mainly in the 1960s the points occasionally let me down but electronic ignition never has - touch wood.

Simon, just wondering what you use to tighten the small fiddly nuts at the points connections?

Do you mean where the wires join ? they were already connected as I bought the plate complete

In the trade, needle nose pliers

[deltarider]

I'll soon make a pic of what I use. It's a very little wrench from a set of socalled precision tools: 5,5 mm. To prevent the other end from turning, I use a dito little socket - you don't need the ratchet, the socket is enough - also 5,5mm. Works perfect. Not so perfect but usable: the supplied pliers in the Honda tool bag.

[JezzaPeach]

Great tips many thanks.

I have a very small spanner that came in a tool kit from some bike or other, works a treat.

These are quite good, about 12 quid off flea bay. Start at 5mm and go to 11 surprisingly. They’re dead thin and really handy for those sorts of jobs. Starter motor nuts etc….
