The people in this club are terrific, even for non-Valk help. I have already got a SOHC/4 sigh-in, BobB. Will consider replacing the points, but the points look good. The PO took the bike into the same independent shop that does my tires, two years ago, and they had the bike running strong. I have dealt with points before, 45 years ago, and I do know how fast they can go out.
I could not get a new toy without spending some time with it, so I cleared a corner of the garage and started dismantling this beast. The bike had been laid down more than once causing damage to tins but nothing major. The seat and rear end is toast, but that was to be replaced anyway. Battery is permanently dead, will not take a charge. I'll check out the electrical using an old but good battery from the Valk. I just freed the carb slides after shooting in half a can of carb cleaner. I'll get them on a bench over the winter. Rear brake pads are gone, but not down to metal. I'm trying to get those things done that require smelly chemicals. Susan does not like those odors wafting up stairs from the basement workshop. Women are funny that way...
