I voted they are all scams. Just ways to avoid fixing the real issue. I own/use none of them.

12 pt or 6 pt?

Unknown, how much different are they on the same sets? Could be fewer made, I know when you get those kits they tend to load them with alot of the 12 pointers.

The only thing 12 point is good for is if you are in a tight place with something like a breaker bar that you only have 4 choices on how to position it. That said, if you are using a 1/2" drive breaker bar, you probably want 6 point so you don't round it off... I have a mix of both. And don't forget some deep ones too! I use my deep 1/2" drive set more than my regular ones.

With a ratchet, 6pt isn't a problem. With a breaker bar, 6pt can be a problem. Unless you fckd up something, or it's rusted and older than god, I don't see 12pt being a problem in any normal situation. With ratchet, I'd go 6pt.

Dammit. Set static timing as outlined above and in the manual link provided. Maybe I should be using the light bulb to catch the sparking point more closely. Well then after some more unsuccessful cranking I thought I'd check the points gap to .016 at 15 deg. BTDC as suggested elsewhere. So I found the points loose. I gapped and tightened them. Surely that would fix me right up and blammo, I'd be running again. Not the case. I'm...

Some of these seem a little sketchy. Some of these apparently used to be sketchy, but have cleaned up their act since getting sued for false advertising. And some seem to get a lot of praise for being the real deal. I'm not expecting any miricle results. But do any of them really do what's claimed--even a little bit, whether that's balancing compression between cylinders, reducing oil consumption, reducing emissions, or...

There are alot of times I specifically have to find the 6 point. Being that they are on 1/2" drive you'll be using them on larger things that take more torque. Go 6 point. Harder to positions is a matter of a few degrees of turning the socket, and these are 1/2" so they're bigger anyhow.

It is like reading a micrometer, you are doing it correctly, the line that meets the centre line is the correct one to adjust to, the ring takes it to another decimal point.
Your mate is over torquing.
The purpose of the crank in the read line, is so all the setting number is visible when the sleeve covers it to the line, without the crank, only half the number would be visible.

make sure there is something covering every hole on it or there will be moisture/rust. some of that may be ok if rebuilding. make sure none of the freeze plugs are popped out or missing, indicates being frozen with water instead of antifreeze in the block. that should get the ball rolling.

pretty easy, drop the bike into a decent shop, hit the lawn contractor for
the costs.. they have insurance for a reason :)

What we have here is the underside of a Guzzi Ambo tank. This shot is of the fairly flat bottom of the forward lobe. To date, there are no less than 10 holes. This is something of a beater bike, so concourse restoration isn't required. So what's the best solution?
My idea is to have my brother-in-law who is handy with an English (or maybe Sweedish?) wheel make up a plate to weld over the ...

those are toast, just find another used head and replace it. cycle salvage,
or ebay. I would try to find out why it happened. you might have a blockage
in your oil feed. or you might have forgot that motors need oil.

I have always heard nothing but good things about Amsoil, the only problem is getting it locally... seems you have to order it or find an Amsoil fanatic who has become a dealer and sells it. As for the new mileage rating, I have no empirical proof, but it bothers me to leave oil in an engine for so long. Yeah I get the superiority of Synthetic and I use Synthetic, but regardless bad things tend ...

My, admittedly vague understanding is that you cannot go tubeless with a spoked wheel and that spoked wheels are much better for off roading. I think you are too likely to break a cast aluminum wheel off road.
But I am a n00b. I sure WISH my 800 gs had tubeless tires.

depends on what you want to do, if your using it as a fab table and want to
weld large projects, you have to make them lower so you can reach
everything without crawling on the table. if using it for assembly i like
them to be higher than normal counter height so i don't have to bend down.
i work standing, some people don't and if you want to be seated you can't
go much higher than desk height. i...

Bummer dude, good luck finding the prob. Not sure we can help you in this forum... I know nothing about cruisers.
More interesting though why do you think it fell off the stand?

Sounds more like a head gasket leak or cracked head - and you're getting engine oil into the cooling system
Looks like Brown liquide shit right - kinda sticks to your fingers and slimy

Also, you'll note the zip ties on the timing chain sprocket. This was a brilliant on my part, and meant I had 0 worry about the timing upon reassembly.
So, I went to the auto parts store where they had an ENTIRE top-end and head gasket set for about $70. On the shelf. Try that with your Volvo, Subaru, etc. With some gasket remover, oil, coolant, and plugs, my total was $100. I had some copper...
