76 CB550 noisy points
« on: March 11, 2013, 03:57:43 PM »
I thought I read somewhere that you can / need to lubricate the points cam...not sure wher, what, how. It sounds like a noisy clock under the cover which is probably my fault since i wiped everything clean the first time i opened the cover last month.
Thanks as usual!

Do you see a little what almost looks like a felt pad close to the shaft.
