First I'm a new poster, though I've browsed for close to a year. I picked this little guy up in a trade, was really looking for a CL350/CL360 but couldn't pass up getting something fun and cleaning out some old garbage at the same time... Just don't ask the wife, she'll tell you I just traded for a different kind of garbage.
It's a 1973 CL175, not running right now. Turns freely, and the inside of the tank is clean. Own said it was running 2-3 months ago and showed a video of it running. He thinks it's the points as he adjusted them to get it running the first time.
The first thing on my list is fluid changes, and greasing. Replacing the current point with new ones and see what happens.
I want to convert to a newer ignition and get ride of the points completely, but I'm still researching if/how this can be done - any info would be great.
Also what type of points are these, read that 2 different type are used on these bikes (photo below)
