[QUOTE="Steve Morris, post: 98425, member: 3648"] I had a cutting out problem with the Comet. Every time it did 'it' there was no spark. I decided to bite the bullet and took the Mag to a chap who overhauled it for me. Now i have to say that since i refitted it 2 things have been quite obvious.. 1. The bike performance is way better than it was. I put that down to 2 things, weak spark or ignition timing was a little retarded. 2. This is the strangest thing.. Before, the bike was smoking (white so presumed oil) white a lot. Since i refitted and timed the mag, the smoking is considerably less? It is really a lot less than it was? Couple of things come to mind. Spark is now stronger so the oil is being burned more efficiently, OR, the timed breather was out of sync somehow, but how?? Can anyone tell me how the timed breather system works please? Anyway, its running so well i am going out again today... Cheers! [/QUOTE]
