Not enough adjustment
Posted: Wed Jul 22, 2015 12:05 pm
Setting the ignition timing on a Z1B and seem to have ran out of adjustment on the base plate and the points plate to achieve the correct setting.
I think the advancer is from a later bike A4 or 1000 but when adjusting so the points start to open at 5 degrees BTDC on the F mark, I can't move the plates any further and am still a few degrees short of the mark.
1 and 4 can be set within the adjustment slots but 2 and 3 run out of adjustments?
I know the static timing was changed from 5 BTDC to 20 BTDC on later models so even if the advancer is from a later bike ie f mark at 20 BTDC I should still be able to set at this mark. Could the mounting plates be different too?
Any thoughts guys.
