Hey, Ron...

Yeah, my pal has a dwell-tach, but he's out of town for the weekend. I hope to hook up with him next week and dial it in better. Also realized after I set the points that I was looking at the wrong spec in the manual...it's supposed to be .016-.020, not .012-.016. So my points are right at about .014 now, a little shy of where they ought to be. Dwell is probably waaaaay high.

I picked up my new wireset this morning, and my replacement rotor (the one I bought had a defect) should be in this afternoon. I'll swap both those out, plus the condensor, over the weekend.

CO2 analyzer, eh? Care to elucidate on that? I know less than nothing about such exotica...but I'm positive my carbs need adjusting. (My mix seems too rich...the exhaust is on the stinky side.) How does a CO2 meter help with the carbs, exactly? Remember: I'm a clueless n00b.

Also guess I should finally invest in a Uni-Syn or the like. I have a twin-carb motorcycle, too, so now's as good a time as any, eh?

Thanks for the comments and advice, everybody!
