HEY! WE HAVE A MERCH STORE!!!!

I hate points. But for some reason people still use them. Here is how I set points and set ignition timing. Also I explain how I test a coil and capacitor to make sure your entire ignition system works correctly.
If you want to upgrade to an electronic ignition like god intended, here is a video on how to set up one of my favorite ignitions, the Dyna S • shovelhead/evolution p...

I really liked the close up of the bench, no other channel goes into this much detail.

@DWchopshop Месяц назад

It's really important to make sure you have a decent working surface. Lmao Also, my camera work and video editing has improved tenfold since this video.

@DrVlok Месяц назад

I don't care, I'm subscribed and watching them all from now on. I've been watching shovelhead videos from here in the shit uk where the only good thing is my old shovel. Keep shit funny coz that's where it's at... Great work in its original form.. nearly choked and spat my tea all over my screen because of you.

@@DrVlok im glad you enjoyed it! Videos are sparse at the moment. I have a lot of parts out getting work done, heads ported and polished, Triple trees getting shaves, and so on. I will get back to weekly posts once I start getting parts back.

Not too many people teaching about this on RU-vid and I haven't met one that explains it better than you have right on brother

Much appreciated!

.Cover 'gasket 'pionts ' Condenser and gap plugs to points timing ...and you are right about the ol ladds not agreeing... Points over elec any day for me and that go's for the classic cage i drive also 😉😎 Keep up the good work .👍

@DWchopshop 5 месяцев назад

Lmao! I do think it's a generational thing. There's nothing wrong with points at all. They work fine. I just prefer electronic, its a lot simpler to me.

Better than most, pretty much right to the point which is great.

@DWchopshop 4 месяца назад

Thanks! Newer videos are definitely better! Editing and no shaky hand held video, lol.

@R-L-D 2 месяца назад

Every other video on YT says the short lobe not the long lobe.

@StudioELW405 Год назад

What about old school side of road technique? Set points gap on the firing lobe, set plate in the middle or to a spot u can get the bike started, advance until you hear ping back off very slowly until ping goes away call it good.

@DWchopshop Год назад

I've always had more of a do it right the first time so your not sitting on the side of the road mindset.

@erichiles9568 2 месяца назад

Wish I could see video that shows me how

@jeanson105olivier3 6 месяцев назад

So tdc compression stroke on front cylinder. Then adjust the gap on the points. Then with test light lock plate right before it lights up. Thats it ? How do you know if you need to go clockwise or counter with the plate during the test light step ?

@DWchopshop 6 месяцев назад

Advance the weights to fully open (twist the middle peice) Then test with a light and pock Plate before it lights. Normally, you put the plate on so you can rotate it clockwise to set timing.

78 Shovel kick and button, what do like for ignition, Dyna S? Rawhide isnt available so it appears. You make informative videos.

@DWchopshop 4 месяца назад

Thanks for the comment. Dyns S is a great ignition! I prefer the Dyna 2000i because i can tune it on my laptop, but I will run a Dyna S any day of the week.

Hey brother I got one for you I got plenty of spark and plenty of fuel,coil was tested functional,battery perfect 73 shovel 4speed transmission all I got is headlight and tail light kick only and she won’t fire, she’s not sucking air I’m completely dumb founded any idea s I’m open to try anything

@jamesbrown6473 Год назад

adjusted your pushrods?

@DWchopshop Год назад

What kind of ignition does the bike have? James has a good point with the pushrods, that can definitely make for hard starting. I would recheck static and mechanical timing too.

@castheandra Год назад

Master cylinder rebuild please! 😁

@DWchopshop Год назад

I have next Monday off, and I do need to get that thing fixed. I'll try to knock it out. Sorry it's taking so long lol.

@DWchopshop 8 месяцев назад

Show me a points ignition that doesn't need to be touched for hundreds of thousands of miles. Any modern electronic ignition is leaps and bounds better than points.
