My '77 GL1000 is still running like a dog, and most every symptom I still have points towards "ignition not being advanced far enough".
Other than not being able to get the second base-plate locking screw loosened off the plate (damn him!) I'm also stumped by not being able to find a glass-cap so I can see the timing marks with a strobe light.
Anyone got suggestions for a supplier or alternative part number please? Will also pay good money for any spares out there!
Thanks.
PS: will I get a decent result off the "static method" using a bulb hooked up to the battery, or am I correct in being fixated with the "dynamic method"? And yes, I did swallow the shop manual ...
