Hooray. Finally someone who owns and uses the correct screwdrivers.
Wow, I can't thank you enough; I am sure I can take on this task after your video!! Kudos brother!!
Only just watched this, from a retired auto tech, that was very well done and explained. When we fitted new points or after setting with feelers, we would use a piece of clean cardboard from the points box, and rub in-between the points faces to remove any dirt or grease.
That's good tip, I always find myself reaching for a scrap of paper towel, never even thought to just use the box.
Spot on video. I tried the common motors video of this process however theirs was wrong in this case. Your gap adjustment and steps were great thank you!
Best points timing instructional video I've seen...and I've seen a lot of them.
Thanks, hope it was helpful.
Brilliant video, at last, in focus close-ups of adjusting your points and showing you the timing marks at the same time.
Thank you for not editing anything out, ,I feel confident that I can undertake this procedure now👍
Great job!!
I'm glad you found it helpful. It's a pretty simple process, just take your time. Thanks for watching!
great video, I really like the picture in picture. It comes in handy and you dont see other tutorials doing that
Glad to hear it helped. Thanks for watching!
Duuuuuude, this was extremely helpful for my 75 cb500T.
Thanks this was helpful!
Nice screwdrivers! Not many mechanics even know about JIS ! I have the vessel impacta set! Very nice tools for sure.
They are probably the single most used set of tools I own, and the quality is excellent. After the service manual they are the first items I think anyone should purchase if they own an older Japanese motorcycle. Thanks for watching!
Best bikes ever built. Value is rising too
thank u michael very well explained the best one
Glad it was helpful!
I had one just like it when i was 12.
Hey thanks for the video, do you have any idea why my test light would be coming on and off opposite yours? When the point is set, my light turns off at LF instead of on.
Also sometimes just stays on constant whether points are open or closed. It’s driving me crazy!
Have you double checked you connections between the points/coils/condensers? Did you adjust your points gap to spec?
Hey Travis did you ever find out your issue. It appears that Im experience the same issue.
If you take the points plate off, look at the breaker cam on the spark advancer. Theres an index mark on the front of it that should point toward the side of the advancer plate with a notch cut out (near the arrow). If its rotated and installed 180° it will be out of phase. Look at page 100 in the honda shop manual.
I'm not exactly sure how you were so confident you were on the compression stroke without the plug removed. Either right side or left side will cause the cam "rollover" you spoke of, right?
Maybe you can help me out on paint. Do you have the paint code and name of the color of your bike? I am having a REALLY hard time trying to find it. Everyone says "VMR Paints" but VMR has no colors shown or better yet pictures of finished examples associated with their paint codes. Tanks are sold in India with that exact color, but they don't sell the rest of the painted parts for matching. Granted, I would prefer to re-paint my original parts anyways...
Great video! You mentioned it’s normal that there is a little oil in de stator casing. Do you know if this is also acceptable for CB77 Super Hawks?
I don't think there should be any oil behind the stator cover or right-side crankcase cover on the CB77.
@@michaelsams450 thanks for your reply, I’ll look into that then. Set the ignition timing om my CB77 today using your video. It was way off… runs great now!
I wish this bike was easier to find.
Is the light supposed to stay on the whole stroke?
Yes
Hi
Why did you not set the point gap on the right side? Thanks
You adjust the timing of the right side by changing the point gap. Setting it to a specific gap initially makes no difference because you ultimately have to change it anyways.
