Hello everyone, took the old C77 on a little camping trip to France again. First on a trailer behind my 61 Peugeot 404 from Amsterdam to the north of France, and from there a 900 km trip to the Bourgogne area and back together with my brother on his 1970 CB350. The C77 averaged 29km per liter, not b...

I extended the rear shock mounts by using car wheel nuts, they have the same thread as the studs. They look good don't you think? Ready for a holiday trip. https://...

There are 4 magnets in the ring that fits over the cams so that would suggest there is a form of electronic advance. Of course there still is the mechanical advance too. When I tested it with the timing strobe light the advance was correct, no double advance. It runs very well too.

I fitted the ignition and it would not start so I removed the plugs but kept them wired to the coil, just touching the engine block. Then I used a timing light and spun the motor with the starter. This way I could see the timing being way off. I then removed the plate screws and turned the plate unt...
