Have you ever pulled that cover? It is seperate, however, the wires run from the magneto under the shifter cover to the harness. It is impossible to disconnect the wires to move the magneto cover without removing both covers. Also, I always get about a half a quart of oil at least from the case...

Checked the plug and there's a nice, fat spark when it cranks. So there is spark, definitely have fuel and the gaps were set within range and timing is in with the strobe. So far I need to figure out how I check dwell and check the carb.

That is a pain and also not what the clymers says. I am confused how turning the nut that looks as if it was engineered specifically for that purpose does any harm. Also, pulling the rotor cover means pulling the shift cover and replacing the gaskets as well as the oil that will now dump out of...

So, timing is on. Gaps at widest point are on. Points start to open at the F mark. Didn't mess with the cam so I am not sure how it could be fine before the tune up but worn so bad only one cylinder is running rich now. I'll try dwell next. That seems Tonne to be the only thing that we didn't...

Points and condensers from 4-into-1.

How do you advance it then without turning the big advancing nut?

Ok, well #4 is fine and #1 is fouled, so if I jacked up the ignition, which a Honda certified tech was helping me with, why would only 1 cylinder be affected? The line is directly under the F mark on all cylinders during the timing gun check. That's pretty dead on as far as I can tell. I...

Number 1 plug wet and black. The other three dry and grey.

So, here's the situation. 1976 K model is stock as far as I know. Ran fine for the past year. No issues with accelerating or starting. Did a tune up, replaced plugs, points, condensers, and oil/filter. Timing is nuts on, checked with a light. Gaps are correct on points. Went out to ride and the...

That's the crankshaft that's now a little stripped on the stator side.

So, in my haste to pull the stator to replace starter clutch rollers on my 76 K I used a puller which apparently was a slightly different size to the shaft thread. Instead of resting on outer lip, the puller threaded into the shaft. It subsequently pulled half the threads out. Now the stator...
