[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 53073, member: 58"] Not sure what happened then with my last post so will try again. I do exactly as what Martyn does except I have set my piston stop which is made from an old spark plug to the actual timing figure I use. That way it can sit in the bikes toolbox and if I need to retime when away from home, you can put the stop in the cylinder, bring the piston up to the stop on the compression stroke and then rotate the mag until the points just open without rotating the engine. You need to lock the atd at full advance ( I use a piece of wood made to fit in the atd). Then tighten the atd nut. That way you can reset the timing when out on the road without carrying a timing disc. In fact it's the way I do it in the garage as well. Cheers Simon [/QUOTE]
