Techdenis007 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 We popped into the Winter Carnival in Hearst, saw some beauty old beaters and stuck my Alpine into the pile with them for an hour or 2. I was surprised to see some really nice old units in there, even an Elite that's trail ridden several times a year ! Enjoy ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrafrozen Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 That's some pretty cool old iron there. Reminds me of primer bulbs and rope wrapped around primary clutches for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rewind starters were pretty lame back then, I guess you've been down that road too ? Reminds me of doing points for some reason .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost pointless .... Ok really when you got the points right they ran great the issue today is getting good quality points to work on them still have a couple of new in box bosch sets in stock but getting thin .

Techdenis007 Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 I'll take a points motor anyday over a cdi. WAY bigger spark and more reliable, so long as they stay clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbill Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I'll take a points motor anyday over a cdi. WAY bigger spark and more reliable, so long as they stay clean. Yes and no . You really have to know what you are doing to do it right and no cheap junk points either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Techdenis007 Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Ha, that's funny !!! I always seeing old iron, got a new windshield for my Alpine, did some clutch modification to make the Yam clutch push the big alpine, it's turning the right rpms now. Todays' project was supposed to be change the windshield and jet the carb but with this wind the uninsulated garage won't keep any heat in it.
