[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 35275, member: 161"] Dear Craig, It is not quite as simple as that. The relationship between the positions of the rotating parts and triggers is synchronised for optimum performance and correct firing point. Units that have been opened for "a look inside" may not perform correctly afterwards because our innate mechanical curiosity sometimes leads to more than just looking. I try to do all repairs and adjustments to my bikes myself. Sometimes I just don’t have the knowledge or skills for some things as I have unfortunately learned to my cost.:eek: Bench testing may not always show a fault as it is difficult to truly replicate the varying on bike running conditions of load, speed, temperature, etc. Your bike ran OK with a borrowed Lucas unit so that suggests that your problem lies in the BT-H unit. If the internal component settings are unchanged then it is possible that the electronics are failing. Perhaps it might have been easier to accept the manufacturers offer to replace the cdi/coils, etc before returning it to you. [/QUOTE]
