Setting timing issue
Oddjob:
That’s a point Nigel, I just may have some decent old TEC points lying around he could use with the Hondaman system, it’s not like they’ll get any worse as the faces just don’t do much, just the heel wear to consider but as long as it’s well lubed that can be kept under control.
ted_paper:
The points that have been removed were also unbranded.
I've just looked at the link that Oddjob left ( I assume that this is the hondaman system?) .
Does this make setting the timing easier, or does it tend to keep the timing more accurate for longer?
Sesman:
Nope. Timing is still reliant on the points and plate position, so points heel wear, however insignificant, is a determining factor. Also it retains the original advance/retard mechanism, so that needs to be in good order too.
Sesman:
Basically, Hondaman takes the load off the points and condenser giving them an easier time electrically speaking.
Sesman:
You could always get a Velleman diy kit and make your own for around £25.
