Oh and Jim it seems to be charging approx 13.6,7 ish while vibing one hand low rpm check..
Same here. Also the side filter cover and sump cover. Always try and bond gaskets to the part you can lay on the bench to clean up.I actually prefer that the intake manifold gaskets stay stuck to and come off with the manifolds. I use a little Yamabond there to make it so. You'll prefer it as well if you ever have to clean off stuck ones on the head - NOT a fun job.
Have you ran out of plate adjustment?To narrow the points gap would in effect "retard" that side ignition ? That's what I'm thinking
Hello Jim, well was just looking in there. At work I was reading threads and think I need to rotate that plate CCW to retard the RT side cylinder. And look at that adjustment notch, it's way CW looking? But I did like what I saw for timing on the LFT side so that bottom half would have to rotate opposite.Have you ran out of plate adjustment?
Appreciate the look over and advice. Ya, looking at it I guess I should just rotate the plate base CCW and be ready to rotate the bottom half back the other way. I've found in the past that moving the plate also changes the point gap a guy just tried to set so it's quite that time to play all that again lol.. I luckily hit that 79 Standard in about one try.. but that was then ..
Now is now.
I've got the TCI iggy now so I don't have to mess with 'em. Think I'm gonna use 'em on the speed twin though. I agree with Robin. seein' the dwell come in and the timing light lining the marks up has a Zen feel to it. Ahhh... the good ol' days before solid state stuff.I remember Robin telling me how much he enjoyed the process, kinda like knowing a secret I guess.
I'm gona need the TCI box and stuff for the 81 engine if I ever want to get it running. ( could go points but...) Oh, Jim, Got the honda charging. Just cleaned everything and put it back. Everything tested good but the slightly high stator resistance so...I think I'll try a solid state regulator. ( The Rectifier does get warmish but the power has to go someplace.) Thanks for the suggestions!I've got the TCI iggy now so I don't have to mess with 'em. Think I'm gonna use 'em on the speed twin though.
