shiner
this bloke was in the pub and he had a shiner. His mates asked how he got it, this is his story..... Me and the wife are shopping in the local Asda I pick up a case of Beer and puts it in the trolley. 'What do you think you're doing?' asks the wife. I said'They're on sale, only £10 for 24 cans. she say's, 'Put them back, we can't afford them , and so they carry on shopping. A few aisles further on along the wife picks up a £20 jar of face cream and puts it in the trolley. I said, "What do you think you're doing?" 'Its my face cream. It makes me look beautiful,' replies the wife. 'So does 24 cans of Beer and it's half the price. And that's when the fight started.

'78 XS400 - power/carb/electrical issues
thats backfiring through the carbs. valve and ignition timing spot on? (ignition sounds retarded to me) don't carb balance, its the last thing you do. You need to get the rest spot on first.

1976 XS360 needs new mufflers -- quick question
if they are the strainght pipes and not the specials, all SOHC xs250 360 and 400's will fit, they may have slightly different caps at the end , but it won't affect performance

help with timing
FR firing right pot, FL firing left pot. these are the markings you use to strobe. make sure the bike is at tickover ie not activating the advance mechanism. I'd highlight those markings with tipex paint, the LT and RT marks are for valve adjustment
