taking material off the mag mating surface face is an interesting solution. An easy machining job, and there's plenty of material to make up for whatever u lost lapping the taper. nice idea. in other news my bike is running great!
won't idle low=too much timing?

While it might work, you should at least recognize that it is a bodge. Rather than a proper repair, it's deliberately messing up a perfectly good component in order to compensate for having accidentally messed up another component. It's the sort of "repair" that people complained about having been done to Vincents that were brought back from Argentina.
thats a good point.
I'm not sure if I still understand, but if you mean you wouldn't use TIG to build up with bronze the worn taper on a rare armature that couldn't be simply swapped out with a common item, I wouldn't hesitate to.
No, we've never met.
It would be a good fix, no bodge, lets agree to disagree and leave it at that, have a good one.

Max. It is impolite and outside forum rules to post such questions online. Some people prefer to remain anonymous to protect their identity. If they use that anonymity to post items of bad taste or insult others then the moderators take action against them. The purpose of the forum is to assist others with useful and helpful advice. It has not, as a rule, been used as a tool for self promotion or indeed argument. Discussion and disagreement do not equate to argument or imposing one's views onto another. We all have different ways of solving the problems our beloved machines throw up at us from time to time. We all have different skills and some of us have none.
