You really are a ****.  And...dude?  Really?  Skank's brain still lives on a middle school playground.

Have you ever ridden a 1970's motorcycle?


That thing sticking up out of the engine ain't an Anal Shifter, Weird Banana.

those kickstarters were great, until one got a kickback that damn near breaks a person's foot or ancle. shame they still aren't used with how often motor cycle batteries die.

I always used the kickstarter on my CB550 - it would start right up no problem. It was so much more fun to kickstart a motorcycle than to press a button to get it to start. It had some kind of ratcheting mechanism so that it wouldn't kick back on you.  I think that was more of a problem on 2-strokes.

That's still 6 grades higher than where your brain resides.

not disagreeing with you, just discussing the one drawnback to having them. It was always a rare occasion with a well tuned bike. But let those points get out of gap or a dirty carb, ouch.

I would check the points every now and then, but they stayed put.  I replaced them once, just because I thought I should, but those Honda CB's really didn't have any problem with the points wearing or staying put once set.

But like distributor caps retaining humidity grounding the spark before it gets to the ;plug, they do get burned from those arcs. Why they needed replaced in normal maintanence intervals like oil changes.

they did get corroded and that affects the gap.

Skank, once again resorts to the "I'm rubber, you're glue" middle school retort.         Read the new book, "My Life On the Middle School Playground" by Skank.

Nope.  Also never jumped out of an airplane or careened down the side of a mountain with two strips of plywood tied to my feet.

Buy American asshole.

Wow, I have done all three myself. Each very entertaining. Especially the jumping out of airplanes. It is a hypnotic sensation you can never imagine until you experience it.

Clean them with a little 400 sand paper and then re-gap them.  But, you're right.  They were a wear item.  You will hear some people bitch and groan about points, even going so far as to replace with electronic points elimination modules.  I had that motorcycle for 7 years and really did not need to mess with the points very much.

Again, we agree. but you keep trying to win a talking point like this is a debate and winner gets to control the conversation forward. Why do you do that?

One track talking point mantra programming society did to you after birth and you haven't figured out how to counteract it?

I am showing you how to do just that, unless you don't want to understand why you do what you have done all the time.

Well, you're a real bag of fun, aren't you!  What the F- do you do for fun?  Have you never gone total-balls-to-the-wall insanely, adrenaline-pumping bat-****, death-spiral, one-hair-from-out-of-control on anything?  If you haven't tasted your heart THUMP-THUMP-THUMP in your throat facing death, you haven't lived.

I don't know - just having a light discussion about old motorcycles and points.

that also. Oh the parables that expand from simple compounding results mutually limited to only eternally separated now defined by relative time semantics.
