Be careful, as I wrote, that Accuspark does not work on RPMs higher than apprx 1500. So no way to check if you advancer behaves properly...
I would not buy it again...
Rob62:
Thanks Erny...I think i may plum for the gunsons....if i do i will report on its suitability
Erny:
Great, if it will work in higher RPM I'll but it too (till full #@%$ will take place fully and we'll need to pay VAT+customs fee)

Hi K2...understood (I think) what you’re saying, but still unsure how a (eg) 16 thou points gap (set at static peak cam) will subsequently deviate from base setting. Bryan answered as I figured... ie slop in rotating the back plate, but given this is how Honda expect you to alter the timing, is the resulting small variation in pre-set points gap (due the slop) not allowed for?
As an aside, and a nerdy question, I further like the strobe coz you can check the Advance / Retard working correctly. My question is... would it not be better to set the timing at 3000+ rpm, between the fully Advanced marks... ie where the engine spends its useful life?
The bottom line I guess, is it’s a 1970s very mechanical set up, and whether ya use cig paper, 12v lamps... whatever... it’ll basically work fine. Horses for courses?
