    What is this thing? And how do I adjust it?

    Trying to adjust my points but this thing is in the way and I don't know how to adjust properly with it there. And I don't know what it so I'd rather have solid direction before fiddling with it.. Thanks ya'll

    Can't get my Points Plate Cover off

    Hey guys so my right cylinder is not heating up so I wanted to check my points to make sure everything is timed right. After doing some research I found out that my bike has a solid state ignition system, does those ever need adjusting? or are they set forever? Thanks

    Points gap and Carb Q's

    so before my bike (77 XS360) was running pretty good except for a mean bog in mid range rpm's. so I pulled my carbs to do a more thorough cleaning. popped them back on and I can't for the life of me get the bike to stay running. the only thing I adjusted was idle. it will run for 3 or 4 seconds...
