Just want to check i understand this correctly.
Rebuilt mag on Comet and replacing the ATD that has obviously had 'attention' previously. One of the 'ears' on the ATD has been bent to limit the travel of the weights. From reviewing posts this is not an unknown bit of tweaking, my question is could this have been over done by PO to negate the possibility of 'pinking'.
I'm setting the points set at 0.012 opening at 34 deg BTDC full advance. Prior to mag work the motor struck me as slightly wheezy topping out at just below 70mph.
By judicial adjustment of the 'ear' on the ATD and resetting ATD at new BTDC full advance position would it be reasonable expect a littlt more top end 'whumph'. I'm used to making throttle / gear adjustments to counter 'death rattle' on my other bikes and i understand that competative riders would rather suffer the potential of a little pre detonation to ensure they were reaching the limits of out put.
Comments?
