[MEairheads] life long learner

[edward]

I always put a tarp under the bike for roadside repairs.  I heard the screw hit the tarp but it must have bounced off.  Retrieval took almost 30 minutes of surgical leave removal. I was lucky to find it as traffic was nil and there was no phone service.


The wire between the points and condenser chafed though on the engine cover. So I decided to replace both the points and condenser instead of trying to splice the wire.  From now on the tiny mounting bolts for both the points and condenser will be in my parts stash.  Ed
