a 3/8" rachet with a pivot in the shaft
various sized extensions and universal adaptors
impact driver & hammer or mallot
multi-meter, extra set of cables with aligator clips.
carb sync tool (I use a Morgan CarbTuneII -- around $105 last I checked)
two sets of feeler gauges (actually, I think I have about 8 sets)
Factory repair manual
Electrical crimpers, wire cutters, needle-nose aka bottle-nose pliers
vice-grips, several
safety wire pliers, safety wire.
chain alignment tool (motion pro, or Profi laser tool)
valve adjustment tool (see my KR Special Offers thread for the OEM one cheap)
bulk shop towels (washable cotton; harbor freight, BigLots, JC Whitney)
dielectric grease
anti-seize paste
a step-stool or other low seat.
etc (I do have years of tools)
For you, I'd specifically suggest starting with one of these tool kits (see sears.com and look up the part numbers):
137 pc Mechanics Tool Set w/ case: $119 Sears item #00934137000
154 pcs Mechanics Tool set w/ case: $149 Sears item #00946573000
213 pc Mechanics Tool set w/ drawers: $199 Sears item #00934183000
I'd wait until they have a sale -- these items normally drop by 20% one week every month or two.
Then add in:
Beam Torque Wrench, $25 Sears item #00944690000
Craftsman 11-9/16" Flex-head 3/8" drive rachet, $20, Sears item #00944815000
Craftsman 26 pc Screwdriver set (currently on sale for $20 instead of $40), Sears item #00947148000
The rest can pretty much come from anywhere -- cheap is good as long as it's not utter crap. HarborFreight for much of it...
