[QUOTE="Martyn Goodwin, post: 48664, member: 2433"] Removed the Roy Price ATD from my Comet (it has been on the bike for around 10,000 miles) and disassembled it in preparation for modifications to reduce its operating range only to discover the cause of my occasionally erratic idle speed. The pins on the backing plate, that are the pivots for the bob weights were real loose - both of them can be moved around and wobbled - there was also signs of wear on the ears caused by the bob weights hitting them. Now its all apart I will be TIG welding everything in place (supposed to be riveted or staked) and will be using countersunk screws and nuts with liberal use of locktite to secure the backing plate to the pinion. Just wondering - has anyone else experienced this type of (potential) failure?? Martyn [/QUOTE]
