Suitable
lights
range
from
inexpensive
neon bulb
types to
powerful
xenon
strobe
lights.
See
Figure
17.
Neon
timing
lights
are difficult
to
see and
must
be
used
in dimly
lit
areas.
Xenon
strobe
timing
lights can be used
outside
in
bright
sunlight.
Both
types
work
on
the
bike;
use
according
to
the
manufacturer's
instructions.
Portable
Tachometer
A
portable
tachometer
is necessary
for tuning.
See
Figure 18.
Ignition
timing
checks
and
carburetor
adjustments
must be
performed
at the
specified
idle speed.
The
best
instrument
for this
purpose
is one
with
a
low
range of
0-1,000
or
0-2,000
rpm and
a
high
range of
0-4,000
rpm.
Extended
range
(0-6,000
or
0-8,000
rpm)
instruments
lack accuracy
at
lower speeds.
The
instrument
should
be
capable
of
detecting
changes
of
25 rpm on the
low
range.
Compression
Gauge
A compression
gauge
measures
the
engine
compression.
The one
shown
in
Figure
19
has a
flexible stem
which enables
it to
reach
into
restricted areas.
This
type
is
handy
for the
V-4
as
there
is little
room
for a
l-piece
compression
gauge
to
fit.
They
are
available
from
motorcycle
or
auto
supply
stores
and
mail
order
outlets.
MECHANIC'S
TIPS
Removing
Frozen
Nuts
and
Screws
When
a
fastener
rusts and
cannot
be
removed,
several
methods
may be
used
to
loosen
it.
First,
apply
penetrating
oil
such
as
Liquid
Wrench
or
WD-40
(available
at
any
hatdware
or auto
supply
store).
Apply
it
liberally
and
let it
penetrate
for
10-15
minutes. Rap
the
fastener
several
times
with
a small
hammer;
do
not
hit
it hard enough
to cause
damage.
Reapply
the
penetrating
oil
if
necessary.
