I agree with K2-K6 on his comments, when I eventually get my 500 running I will use the CB points system as I know it ran on them just fine.
Probably after a few hundred miles I will fit my electronic system that I sourced from Bryan. Part of me says a hybrid system is neither fish nor flesh so like most things it's down to personal choice. I suspect I have often made up my mind then seek out answers to confirm my already held biased views. 3

The only advantage I can see but would not use is that often a CB issue can be fixed at the roadside.
An electronic ignition system (I have one fitted) is a bit like a light bulb it either works or it's blown, not much in the middle assuming the connections are all good to the unit. My experience on cars is that they are many times more reliable than CB points as well as staying 'in tune' so as to speak even though cars have a different spark supply arrangements. The Boyer system is probably the best of both worlds in some ways as it retains the CB points iirc. 4

Seeing those David reminded me of when a locking wheel nut on amy old Carlton stripped out.
At the time circa 1990 I ended up using a cold chisel to eventually get the nut to free off. 5

I assumed the end slot was was for a stubby crewdriver to stop the bolt from turning as you nipped up or released the lock nut.

Yikes I've just read the Midge link - thank goodness Scotland is so far away, it's no longer on my bucket list. Amusingly written I started to itch by the time it reached Scottish Clegs.

Are we talking here about the captive type stud/bolt that is normally part of the tensioner blade - not available as a separate part? Is your tensioner blade in otherwise good condition.

Sorry if my post was ambiguous I did not mean to imply it was currently listed - in a way a good thing that he has offered it here first if that is the case.

Yes I agree with you Steve about a site donation as he is saving on e-bay selling fees or advertising and not contibuting in other ways.

Going well - I always enjoy the dismantling stage - goes without saying taking photos before stripping down and more detailed photos at various stages of dismantling helps later on.
It's amazing how easy it is to forget what way round an item fits when it's months later before you start assembling. 14

This member is probably not alone in such conduct.
That said it can be helpful to some members who might be looking for a particular part or parts. I see it as a bonus for members to be given such an opportunity. 15

That sounds promising a change of ownership might explain the delay.
