[QUOTE="83gl1200, post: 136195, member: 3756"] I knew about having to remove the wheel and swingarm, that didn't scare me, I've already done that several times on this bike, but loosing a pin inside the motor or adjusting the non adjustable merely by sound didn't get through to me if you said that before. Others said no adjustment. You've got me reconsidering it. I have my new cdi on hand and 1500 coils and it won't hurt anything to drop in the new parts and see if they run hot like the old parts or not. If it runs cool with those parts and feels like it might be reliable, then maybe I could see leaving it like that. If the new cdi runs anywhere near as hot as the old one did, I'll feel like i have no choice but to change it to 1100 electronics to have any confidence in the bike being reliable. I have done so much work and fixed so many things in the hopes this antique will be reliable again, it just seemed to make sense to go with the most reliable setup no matter how much work was involved. Compared to what I've already done modding this bike to single carb etc it still sounds trivial in comparison. Some people reported an easy single carb conversion but my experience with this used carb has been anything but easy, but I still managed to pull it off. [/QUOTE]
