The hot cheerleaders little sister........ the nice one who knows how to cook.

Fortunately I'm at a place in life where I think can deal with that. The bike, NOT the cheerleader.
Put on the gauges and tried to chase down that oscillating idle. No luck I was really bout spot on to start with and no changes helped. I don't think it's carbs. I have an electronic iggy with advance for it, might just get rid of the points and mechanical advance, see if that fixes it...
Japanese....this is the Russian version?
Full day in the shop.
Most of it replacing the points and mechanical advance with the Wassell Vape ignition.
Wiring directions were good a couple pics would have helped with the rotor stator timing install directions.
My initial static advanced ignition setting was about 2 degrees retarded from 28 ie 26 when checked with the timing light, going to leave it there for now.
With the condenser holder and ballast resistor not needed and removed, I moved the ignition coils inboard inside the captive nuts instead of outside giving me much better access to the front tank bolts making tank on off a lot easier.
Aaaannnddd.
Hanging idle is cured. Woo Hoo.
Full disclosure I did also reroute the front cable (again), reset the carb top adjusters to match.
Since it was raining about the time I got the iggy done. I pulled the caliper, pushed the pads back, cleaned the exposed piston bores used a BIT of brake fluid as lube, exercised them a few times, sanded the pads, reinstalled. A very noticeable improvement. My theory is that one pad was "immobile" braking effort was mostly bending the rotor instead of stopping. Only a short ride so far but suspect it will remain much better than it was. That'll do 'til I get to the full monte brake rebuild.
