As a follow up to shortline10's on "what"s wrong with this picture" try this.
On ATC90's and ATC110's you can actually disconnect points primary wire lead at small points bolt while engine is running (don't ground it!) and bike will keep idling because of a sharp rise rate "peak" of the generator coils "induces" the ign coil to spark pretty close to normal timing.
Trike will set there and idle you can completely take points out along with points plate and advancer and the damn thing will keep on idling. I've done it many times. Won't rev up or if ya blip throttle it may die. Can"t start it that way unless maybe ya drag it fast enuff. But be careful if you try to be kool and remove advancer bolt .... because it is spinning in the same direction as your air gun has to spin FASTER to loosen bolt. I can see some scarred fingers & hands here.
Honda Rep showed me this many years ago and it works.
