[QUOTE="Pushrod Twin, post: 137656, member: 340"] So I cut a degree wheel from the Triumph manual, altered the numbering, and attached it to the back of the chuck with Bluetac, then connected my strobe light. No visible advance in the lower speeds up to 1200RPM, but then at 1800 it not only advanced, but also centrifuged lumps of Bluetac around the shop and woke my darling wife! Ooops! So much for the comment in Oldhaven's thread regarding getting all the advance in early. It appeared to confirm the 13-14 degrees it indicated static. I will call it quits for now. The next installment will be when I fit it to the bike. Right now, it's a sunny Sunday morning & the Classic Motorcycle guys have a ride organised, I'm taking my Vincent out for coffee, it deserves it! [/QUOTE]
