truenorth,
Did you check the advancer installation instructions?
Hi Pete...got back at it today and was able to check install against instructions....100% installed as instructed but the ability of the advance weights to move is still directly related to how tight the rotor nut is....
Pics below...the 2 bushings on the right side move around very freely and easily sit 'below' the cam ends.........same with the 1 bushing on the left side....no protrusion there either. Not sure what to look at next..?
Like I have said I can loosen the rotor nut and the advance weights move nicely. I realized tonight that the point where the weights move, is also the same point where the big washer that sits atop the rotor turn independently on the rotor......clearly that means the nut is not tight enough.
End to end of cam as measured through cam is 8 11/16 (using reg tape measure)
and shoulder to shoulder on the advance rod appears to be 8 11/16
The rotor is sitting nicely directly atop the cam end on the left side, but there is about 4 threads on the advance rod that sit below the washer that sits on the rotor end...last pic. Its almost like the adv rod needs a longer shaft on the left side so the nut can bottom out on the shaft......?
my bike is an 81 if that has anything to do with it....
odd that I have read a ton of posts (thnx TwoManyXS1Bs), where people are concerned with end play.....and I am concerned with no end play...?
Thanks Pete !!!
