I have the right-side/tight cable advance and know to check/adjust with lever at full advance. I neglected to note that in my original query, so thanks for double-checking!

Quote thing won't work

In your first paragrapgh you say you did the ciggy paper thing then adjusted the max gap to 12 thou. Its the other way round. Set the max gap first otherwise the one will undo the other if you know what I mean.

You reject the idea rather quickly, Ron, still working on it....:smile: :smile:

Just made a simple adjustable cross bar from a piece of stud, a nut and a tube. The adjustment gives the opportunity to fine-turn the crank up to the 7/16" BTC point or to a pistonstop and will keep it there firmly when fastening the mag-nut.



My engine has no piston at the moment so i cannot test it fully and find out how it reacts on the backslash/play in the geartrain but will be soon and be back here.

and yes it means removal of the chaincover, but for me that is one of the last items I put on the bike anyway.

Well I wouldn't reject it out of hand Michiel, but I also wouldn't bother to remove my chaincase if I had to reset my timing. But definitely worth thinking about during a period of engine rebuild. Especially after you've done the groundwork to prove that it works perfectly :relaxed:
