Hello everyone,
just want to say hi and ask for some help, I don't do messages much but I just bought a 90 FXST and after 9 years of not riding it's really nice to be back. I guess you never lose that tugging at your gut when you go through the gears hard getting on the freeway or rolling on the throttle going up a steep grade. I'm 60 now and that is went through my head on my B-day last January that I just don't have that much longer, so I went out and bought one. Now I need to keep it running, I was hoping someone out there can help me out, you see my last bike had points. I am having a hard time finding that timing mark through that plastic plug an I'm not sure how to read those lines on the ignition plate. I could static time it but i think it has to be 30 advanced on the plate after I get it on TDC. Can anyone give an idea just how lost I an before I get to far out of wack.
Thanks in advance, Gdude54
