Aloha All ...

I'm new to the forum and just getting back into riding cycles after 25 yrs. gone ...
Wanting to learn the ins and outs of 1976-78 small Hondas ...
ct110 ... ct125 ... xl100-125s ...
I'm retiring and MonkeyingAround with these bikes is becoming MyHobby ...

So i'll have a few questions for you who know ...

I'm looking to get a dwell meter for these bikes and what i'm seeing is meters with settings for 4,6,and 8 cylinders ...
Can this type of meter be used ??? and how ???
or what should i be looking for ???

Please explain anything you might know about setting the points with a meter ...

Thanks ... Bonzo

Unless your good and quick with division you might as well just set the points to their proper setting which is 0.3mm to 0.4mm (0.012in to 0.016in).

I also have a swell meter for a 4 and 6 cyl car but never figured out how to get it to measure a single cylinder bike. If you find out please post.
