LOL I figured it was Lucas related problems.
Didya hear Norton is making a comeback? Pretty nice looking scoot...we'll see if they actually can survive longer than other resurrected brands (like Indian).

Thanks for the link. I didn't realize they were still around.
Get rid of the breaker points and install a Boyer Bransden ignition. Some people also recommend replacing the Amals with a 40mm single barrel Mikuni, although I never had any problems with the original setup. A mega-cycle high lift cam is a nice addition if you ever get into it far enough to split the cases.
