worn advance/retard unit?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Bryanj:
If using a bulb it should light just as the F Mark lines up with the static mark

billdn:
Gentlemen - thank you for your advice and reassurance. For some reason I decided to turn the advancer unit through 180 degrees, to be honest I don't recall taking it apart previously but it's been so long I can't remember!
Any way everything went swimmingly with setting timing and test light , turned the key and she started!!! All this time advancer unit was wrong way round -aargh!
So pleased!!!, would put up a video clip but it tells me it's too long to load.
But it does show the value of this group and like minded people.

Alright it smokes like a chimney(assembly oil) and the carbs need balancing but I've built my first ever engine and it works!!

Orcade-Ian:
That's a great result Bill,
No one can take that feeling of elation away from you when the pile of inanimate bits of otherwise scrap metal bursts into life after your own work.  Even after 50 odd years of black fingernails, I still get that same buzz - I think we all do!



Keep up the good work!
Ian

JezzaPeach:
An easy mistake, great result and just in time for better riding weather!

Spitfire:
It's great when a plan comes together, I can well remember timing my 250 AJS, timing disc, rod down the plug hole. Very precise but it would not work at all, spent ages at it then the light bulb moment came, I had been turning the engine backwards.

Cheers

Dennis
