So, we bought a jetski in Vietnam.. just not sure if this is the best way to get it to the water... 50cc of RAW 4 stroke power!!! Well, as long as we went in a straight line, it was perfect! :D

I've got one on my 79. It cost me a bomb by the time I imported it to Vietnam (150% Import Tax). I can't say I'd put one on my other XS. Good thing is, even being colorblind I can rig this one up! hahaha. Bad thing is, my bike had no parts to actually connect it to so had to make them up...

Well, pleased to say she now goes like a scolded cat! Spun up a longer insert and fitted it into an old spark plug. Did the 'turn forward slowly, mark it, turn backwards, mark it' suggestion to come up with a TDC which I then moved the plate to line up to. Used an old protractor and came up...

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll give that a try and see what I can come up with. I love the old girl and really want to take her out more often. Riding big bikes is still illegal here (well, big bikes are not, it is just impossible to get a licence for one) so I always have to keep 500,000...

Ladies and Gents, Since I live in Vietnam and there is no local dealer to take my XS bobber to for constant repairs (and motorcycle boots are not made for walking long distances in), I decided to go for the magneto setup. Got the Morris Magneto from the states and am having a little problem...
