[QUOTE="eglijim, post: 91795, member: 441"] Whatever the standard advance curve was for my single plugged bike ( Lucas RITA), think the customer bike was on twin points and atd so both likely fully advanced before 2500. Not really an issue in the limited rpm range to which we are restricted assuming even a highly tuned Vin runs past the power peak by 6400 rpm at most. As I have said our race bikes ran OK without an atd on fixed ignition but could be a pain to start from cold but seldom came under 4000 rpm when warmed up and in action. Does depend on the intended purpose of the machine. [/QUOTE]
