I'd say I'm showing my age, but, since I'm only ( Roll Eyes

WD you're still a babe in the woods son Wink

. But you hit on one of the reasons I have not let the old Kawa KZ440 LTD go yet. It's a 1980(last year for points on the KZ series)I'm hanging on in case of an EMP incident.

Digger I remember the dollar bill points cleaning well! Spent many a time along a dark country road doing that trick just to get back to town.

Yep, and you could also statically set the timing using the same dollar bill!

They'd get a kick out of our place... wind up a hand crank, drop a metal arm on a black plastic round thing and music comes out of it... I think the "NEW" record player is a 1926 model...

Or there's the truck I can leave the ignition key in because even I've forgotten how to start the thing. Set the hand choke cable, set the hand throttle, turn on the key, find the stock starter pedal and hope it decides to start instead of just crank over and kill the 6v battery... Grin
