Have starterd getting over my fears of mechanics and dove into basic
mechanics the other eve - condenser, points, valve check, new gen belt.
Getting ready to check/adjust the timing on Patience for the 1st time, I
have never done this before and need help. I plan on borrowing a light
from a friend, and I have seen how to adjust the timing by lossening the
bolt and moving the distibutor etc... Question I have is the book calls
out for checks at multiple RPM's, how do I know what RPM's I am at
without an RPM guage on the bike? Is that part of the timing light kit?
Any other tips for timing loops?

Thanx much!
