Got the broken carb screw out. It wasn't that hard to do. We have a drill press and a jig set up at work. In this pic, do these look like the original points? They fire pretty good.

And was wondering why my stator says CB72 on a CB77? Do I have a mutt bike?

This is the best unmolested engine I've seen for some time from the pics you offer.
The bike looks great and I think if the inside of the engine is as good as what you show you have a nice machine. ..................lm...........ED

Cb72 is normal to see stamped there

Thanks juggler. I might have to get up your way and check out your bike.
And ask a billion questions!

Houston, we have a problem. How do I fix a bent rim? Or just replace?

Chrome

Try coca cola and the "bright" side of aluminum foil!
Fold some up smooth, dip in coKe and rub your chrome.
DO NOT DO THIS ON REAL NICE STUFF!
this works Incredibly to clean up really poor looking chrome.
Try it on that bent rim. Thank me later!
This can cause minor scratching, so do at your own risk.
Use sugar free and rinse after.
That's a real nice bike. Good score
