    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

8. On '79 models, install new points or Dyna electronic ignition (or at least verify that the old points are working correctly)

What parts are considered "new points"? I have a electric ignition now but it doesn't work, no clicks or anything. What parts are considered new points? Is it a part or combination of multiple points?
 
Syren,

Ignition contact breaker points is what they mean, just like in a 1960's, or older, Amercian car distributor.

They get burned, wear out and the rubbing block wears down, screwing up your dwell angle.
 
Big T,
Thanks for the reply but I'm still not exactly sure what you mean. I have an idea but not certain where to look on the bike.

Nice work Mr. Napoleon47. :clap:

Too bad you're going to sell it. Are you going to get another GS to flip?


Thank you for your indulgence,

Thanks, I'm not necessarily trying to flip it as much as I am trying to break even :cry:. I will own another bike someday, they aren't where I need to be in life right now.
