[QUOTE="b'knighted, post: 65201, member: 59"] A section member has been feeling displeased with the performance of his Comet since recently having his timing reset by a local engineer/mechanic. I'd assume that he was dissatisfied before it was reset. Prior to retiming it ourselves we checked the current settings. So far as I could tell it was 4 degrees BTDC on full retard but about 46 degrees BTDC on full advance. This is with a relatively new, heavy duty ATD - presumably one of Roy Prices. The bike starts very well so re-adjusting to give correct timing at full advance would seem unwise as starting will become impossible. Is this increased range indicative of pivot pin failure?
