[QUOTE="Mark Fisher, post: 17275, member: 510"] My Egli has Terry prince twin plug heads and when we started the motor after a rebuild it ran horribly and after a couple of starts it broke the pin in the starter. We had set it to 38deg BTDC but in order to get it to run right we had to back off to about 27deg BTDC so you are probably pretty close on timing. I haven't had much more than a 100mph out of mine either, but I haven't tried too hard recently. Maybe I should take it on the interstate this weekend and see what it will do, it is fully run in now. I can tell you that the bike starts, runs and idles beautifully the way it is set up right now, but I am tempted to try a bigger main jet on the mikunis just to see if it changes anything at the top end. Maybe take a look at carboration instead of ignition? thanks mark [/QUOTE]
