[QUOTE="Deroberson, post: 25530, member: 224"] Mac Interesting that you are going through this, I too am trying to get the timing set correctly on my D. When you say "34 degrees as per the books", just curious which book for reference? I set mine for 38 degrees but something is still amiss, I have a little kickback at start up and have retarded the distributor fully. The bike will crank and run fairly smoothly but once at speed and under a little load, just is not running quite right. Measured the points breaking with a ammeter and the distributor shaft, (as being looked at from the left side of the bike) fully advanced or rotated against springs counter clockwise. Does all this sound correct? Dave [/QUOTE]
