I have installed a Boyer ignition on my 1972 306 (256 with a starter) engine (in a 1975B bike) and have the timing rotor hitting the solder on the timing plate.
Too much solder applied?
Does anyone know what the air gap should be and how to check it? Plastigauge I suppose?
Bike won't pull above 4500rpm, seems to be breaking down, changed the original Gil coil that came with the kit already.
Changed main jets from STD 127.5 to 130, then 132.5 & 140. Standard pipes and XS performance pods fitted. Runs best on 132.5, absolute crap on the 140's.
Diaphragm's test ok and carbies have been acid dipped to clean galleries etc.
BS38's with 3 crossover pipes and non linked, choke seems to be sealing but the top crossover in the manual has lines running down, not connected to each other. Should it be that way?
