    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I know nothing about timing but I'm happy to listen...:-D
 
I was looking for a schematic or something out of a manual on line?I bought a manual,waiting for it to come.Just wondering how timing is set?I have a T light.Is the T light used on all 4 cyl.or just 1 and2?Is the timing set on the F or T?At the timing plate?Need to verify if points are set on T or F at the timing plate?Thanks Steve.
 
Change out the points, gap them to 0.014" and then set them at idle to the "F" mark. Cylinders 1 and 4 are one set of points and 2 and 3 are the other. Time one set then change the timing light clamp to the other coil. I usually use 4 then change to 3 as they are on the same side of the bike your working on. This is it in a nut shell.
 
Thanks Nick.I will try this .I have to go get the new points and condensers.40 miles Arkport Suzuki,Ny.Everybody should see the bikes this shop has.Awesome display on a balcony of old Suzuki's and Harley's.Thanks again,Steve.
