Happy Canada Day Everyone!
As the subject line says, looking for a set of ignition advance springs for my CD175. CB/CL/SL are probably all the same, like the points. Years ago, I could buy various tension springs to tailor the advance curve, but Gerald Ford was still president LOL.
The only stuff I've been able to find online is used baseplates - so the springs might not be any better than what I've got.
Wouldn't mind some advice on a 6 Volt electronic ignition, maybe from someone who has used a Tytronic, so I can ditch the points - and maybe the advance unit as well.
Been 30+ years since I've had to set point gap, check initial advance with an ohmmeter and shortly have to drag the strobe light from a dusty shelf in the store room to check full advance, so a re-learning experience for me. Was explaining the above to a 20-something last night and he just went, "Huh?".
I've posted this in the Electrical section as well.
Thanks,
Pat
