Nice, thanks for the info. I’ll give that a try. Did you just run the stock needle?http://www.nichecycle.com/ncs/categ...jets/bs30-96-bs30-96-pilot-jet-by-mikuni.html
Stock is a 42.5
I went up to a 45

Yes, but I put the small 1/2mm (?) washer under the clip to raise it slightly.Nice, thanks for the info. I’ll give that a try. Did you just run the stock needle?
I’ve got one of those adjustable needles. Definitely going to go up on the pilot, might play around with needle height.Yes, but I put the small 1/2mm (?) washer under the clip to raise it slightly.
Maybe @gggGary can give you that info off the top of his head....
Not meanin' to tell you your business, but get the timing done before playin' with the carbs.I’ve got one of those adjustable needles. Definitely going to go up on the pilot, might play around with needle height.
I need to get a timing light and check it out.Not meanin' to tell you your business, but get the timing done before playin' with the carbs.
No. I think I pointed out in your thread.... you might need to file the slot on your trigger. I needed to on mine anyway. Mine isn't giving the full advertised advance. I settled on 35° at full advance and wound up at about 18° at idle. Seems to work just fine at that setting.Just wanting to ask, is there anything different on adjusting the timing with the gonzo versus stock TCI?
This seems like a pretty good write up on cutting that slot you mentioned. Trigger=pickup coilNo. I think I pointed out in your thread.... you might need to file the slot on your trigger.

Correct. Also known as a crank position sensor....Trigger=pickup coil
Thanks Jim! I’ll check that out firstCorrect. Also known as a crank position sensor....
Yes, that's a good thread on the slot.
I just filed mine out with a round jewelers file. If you need to advance it (most likely) you'll want to file the left side of the slot.... rotate to coil clockwise.... top to the right for advance.
I have another I should send you before I even try it.Just a reminder and a note to anyone needing it, I repair the TCI boxes.
Myself, I worry with the total advance and let the idle timing fall where it may. I stand with 2many and Jim and think 35 degrees is a good place to land for total advance.I need to get a timing light and check it out.
Just wanting to ask, is there anything different on adjusting the timing with the gonzo versus stock TCI? (If it needs to be adjusted)
I assume the voltage drop your seeing when you energize the rotor is with the engine not running. If thats the case then what your seeing is probably the current load of the rotor pulling down the battery voltage. I seem to remember reading here somewhere that the Boyer requires 11 volts or better to operate so you should be fine at 11.8v . Both the Gonzo and the Boyer work just fine (in other words just the same as at higher voltages), until they hit their min voltage and then they just stop. Having a switch to stop current flow into the alternator while kicking is not a bad idea but just keep in mind bad things will happen if you forget to switch it back on..I have had good charging
Battery is a couple of years old and of the new sealed type
Wiring is poor
