John, Ooohhhh, now I see. 148k would concern me as well. I have already been in your predicament with just 20k on my bike. Just from changing things, tweaking things, according to some advise here, and continuing to look over the Ambo periodically I have been able to have a reliable bike, finally. These puppies do take a lot of patience and committment but they reward you handsomely. Bob

Bob,
I am having symptoms of failure in both ignition and carburation so I am going to replace parts throughout these systems in order to get the bike in a reliable situation. Frankly I can't trust the machine for any rides beyond my neighborhood at present. Also, the bike has 148,000 on the ticker so I feel that some of these are destined to fail so while everything is apart it seemed like a good time to replace these items since they have been sitting around in their boxes brand new.

John,
First of all, why do you want to replace any of these parts? Have they failed? Are they about to fail? Bob

I have the mechanical abilities of an Eastern Box Turtle. Should I attempt to replace my Coil, Regulator and Points myself and if I attempt to what red flags must I be aware of.
Thanks
