XS650 Addict
This relates to a 1970 XS650 (XS1) engine.
Since I'm installing a Vape/PowerDynamo crank triggered ignition, I removed the points/advance mechanisms and housings (#21 in the parts diagram) and am installing Heiden Tuning covers for aesthetic reasons.
When I removed the housings, they were only sealed with red o-rings (no gaskets). But the Heiden Tuning cover description says "We prefer to use new gaskets and o rings: 18-0863 and 18-0889." When I checked the parts manual, it's a bit unclear as to whether the points/advance housings are sealed with o-rings only, gaskets only, or o-rings and gaskets. The tappet covers seem simiarly confusing.
Hoping somebody here can provide clarity.
