Roxy: Tune Up

Did most of a tune-up on Roxy.

1. Wipe down, general inspection
2. Chain slack = 3/8"
3. Brake inspection = tightened up the rear brake
4. Check air cleaner and fuel lines
5. Spark plug
1. Gap = ok
2. Condition = black and carbon deposits
6. Valve clearance
1. Intake = ok
2. Exhaust = tightened from .003" to .002"
7. Points
1. Condition = ok
2. Gap = was 0.508 so I tightened to 0.4, but then to fix the Timing, I had to go back to 0.5
8. Static Timing
1. Was retarded (to the red mark), so I set it back to "F" mark, but that caused the points gap to open up to 0.5.  How do you reconcile that?  [edit 7/27/15: this means the points themselves are worn and should be replaced]

Skipped a few things:

• Check batt voltage
• Lube chain
