[QUOTE="macvette, post: 24129, member: 262"] [b]Exhaust colour and timing[/b] Hi, I'm up to nearly 400 miles now, the bike starts easily and settles down quickly to idle. I'm still worried about the pipes discolouring near the heads and am thinking maybe the timing is out somewhat. I'm not sure what it's timed at. I set the timing on my Corvette by running the engine at 1500 rpm ( to get the bob weights working) and set the distributor just slightly back from the point at which the engine runs the fastest. This is a recommended method because the timing marks which are on the crankshaft damper become unreliable with age as the rubber in the damper distorts somewhat. Has anyone tried this and if so at what revs would the weights be extended ? Mac [/QUOTE]
