You only want to put one mark on your PMA flywheel, where it is aligned with the TDC mark on the sticker when the motor is set at TDC. When running at idle, that mark should then align to the "Fire" mark on the sticker. When revved to 3K or above, that mark should align with the "Advance" mark on the sticker. That one mark will be correct for either cylinder that you are checking.
thanks for the well wishes Marlin , my back has improved slightly today so I think the worst is over. No fun getting old ...everything starts to pack up.
Sounds like you lot of hooligans had a great time at the Rally . I'll have to look and see if anyone has video'd their ride of the whole of the Dragon to see what you lot are all raving about.
61 F 80% humidity today here in Somerset UK,...perfect riding weather ...and I have to sit in the sun room and watch the rest of the Summer disappear .

I could almost be persuaded that you know what you are talking about sometimes skull, but then you go and spoil it all by being a complete. jerk
I see you have a watermark on the image ....are you claiming copyright ?
Your right.........I have been a jerk........I have removed all my posts from this thread..........it's all yours.
hey I meant nothing by it ..
actually I thought that it was a good description . I'll edit my post as i was being the jerk for once Pity you can't put aside your personal feelings for me and others and just get along with folk . We are all here for the same reason ....to try and help one another and be part of a friendly community.

To late... No you and me are not good........Your sniping and innuendo's are not friendly..........If you really meant what you say then you wouldn't even comment on my posts at all ..............No more interaction from me about this
just what I expected.... someone takes a step forward to meet you half way ...........you take a step backwards .
I have m ade many attempts over the years to reach some sort of reconciliation or understanding with you but you are so intractible and beligerent its like dealing with a Jekyll & Hyde character never knowing how you'll react next.
You refer to me sniping which is ironic when yet it is always you ...that posts after me in a thread ..... and either finds fault or criticises every contribution I make.
You will never drive me off this forum no matter what you do or say . I will always stick up for other members particularly new members who you criticise and attack.
I have decided that I am not prepared to read any of your vitriolic posts from this moment on as you will be on my permanent ignore list.

Gentlemen, please. We are all allies, literally. Can't we just get along. An old girl friend once said to me, "True things are often spoken in jest!" I was 20 then, and 46 years later, that statement is more and more real. Hey, Crocodile Dundee is one of my favorite movies. And who didn't love the 60's British Invasion. My brother always said, "I may not always be right, but I'm never wrong!" And my wife and I are so different, I say, "tomatoe," and she says, "Go fuck yourself!" So what?! Life is too short. I could have said something like, "Oh yeah, well any American that has worked on lawn mowers and cars in the 60's and 70's will know that a low speed jet is that little screw on the side of the carb that magically changes how well the engine will idle!" But I didn't. I accepted both explanations, (and mine), because now, the gentleman that needs to know will have several different viewpoints in which to absorb the info. And that's all I'm gonna say about that.
So, how's the weather in Kangaroo land? This is your spring, eh? Does the toilet bowl water really swirl clockwise down there?

I let an old Canadian piss me off on here a few months back. Reflecting on the exchange later, I felt like shit. Like some kinda internet tough guy. Not for me, I always go back to the "Opinions are like assholes. We all have one and they all smell like shit."

So, after all this, did you stop the back firing? Was it the carb, the timing?
And by the way, when i set the low speed thingamajigs out 1 turn each, the back firing decreased bo 80, 90%, but then there was a hesitation when taking off. Stalled it twice at a light these past few days.
Set to 3/4 & less hesitation and more back firing, but not as much. No time to experiment until next week.
And , yes, the pamco timing is spot on dead center between the fire marks.

Yes I had a timing issue that is fixed I leaned my fuel mixture a bit as for backfiring doesn’t seem as bad but haven’t taken it out for a ride been cold and raining here.
