Default Re: Tune ups

Tough question.
It all depends.
These old critters don't need too much.

The points do need some attention when recently replaced. The rubbing block will wear a bit until it 'settles in' meaning the points will need adjusting for awhile. If the timing was set correctly when the points were replaced and set then just re-adjusting the points is all thats needed. Other than this these monsters are fairly bullet-proof.

Oil changes every year or 1000 miles with a good detergent oil. I prefer a 15-40. Along with that is a fluid check and visual check of everything.
Once in awhile the clutch and brakes may need an adjustment.
