Timing problems

<< < (2/3) > >>

UKROBK7:
Thanks for the advice.  I have managed to get the engine timed this morning but the adjustments are nearly on their limits.

Waggles, the pattern back plate does move around and I put a shim at the top to hold it in place against the lower fixings, I don't know if putting the shim at the bottom would have improved the timing setup for me, I never thought to try.  The original Honda TEC plate is a better fit, but not much.  I checked the shaft when I rebuilt the engine and it wasn't bent.  Hopefully I will get the bike finished and on the road with this points setup and then I can sort things out properly.

Waggles:
Think shimming at the bottom would improve matters as the points tend to push the back plate down anyway.

Bit unsure about what you do with yer wellies bitsa  ;D

UKROBK7:
Just ordered 2 genuine point sets from the US (cheap!!) so I will strip everything down when (IF) they arrive and start again.

Waggles:
Hope they are still cheap when HMRC have had their whack  ;)

Tomb:
I've just had to pay £40 to Customs on a big bore kit I bought thinking it was a good price >:(
