Hello,
I had an issue with high rpm's when the engine of my 1979 XS650 Special II was hot. I checked the advance mechanism and found that the weights don't snap back.
I cleaned and lubricated the advance mechanism: pulled the rod, cleaned and lubricated it, replaced the springs (used new springs from Mike's XS), lubricated the "pivots" of the weights.
The weights still don't snap back. Could the new springs be too weak or could there be another issue?
Thank you,
Armin
