Rub on Ya Titties
Hi guys
Sorry for lengthy post.
Hoping someone can clear something up for me. Ive been trying to get the advance range correct.
In order to not go hard up to or past the full advance mark when setting timing, i have to set the idle timing hard to right side of 'F' range. I did plenty of reading and serviced my ATU and this was no better. It flys out smoothly and snaps back crisply, so the springs work fine.
To experiment with reducing advance range i began peening a 2nd set of second hand bob weights but this just doesnt make any difference. I continually peened, installed, tested and so forth right up to the point that the weights will not touch the stops & barely open. On Pamco Petes Advance video, the bob weights are able to fly out and hit the stops, (it looks like at least). The fact that I made no difference makes me wonder if i am missing something. I expected a reduced range of movement to change the advance timing.
The bike is an 81. NZ and Australia models shipped with points, so i didnt install the ATU. I did fit a pamco. Below shows the mark where i have to time it too at idle and still go hard up to full advance. There is a little video too to show how limited the bob weight range is (mediafire link since i dont have a youtube account).
Am i being a total egg? I found this thread which made me think I was on the right track.
What is the ideal point to aim for? I read somewhere 1/4 inch before the full advance mark.
Thanks very much
