Welcome onboard! Nice looking bikes!

I’ve just looked on the Z power site and if it’s the pattern one they have shown that he’s bought, each set of points does have its sub mounting plate.

He’ll get there!

Hi Warren,

I’d assumed that he had the individual adjustments for each set of points as it shows in the parts diagram.

If this is not the case then as you know, the procedure may be slightly different.

Cheers.

Humour me and forget the strobe at the moment and rig yourself with a 12v bulb on a couple of lengths of wire and set the timing manually one set at a time using the timing marks and turning the engine over with a spanner. Set the points to the correct gap and then connect your bulb to earth and the...

Thinking about what you said in your last post. If it’s backfiring through the carbs and popping the rubber cap off, to me that would suggest seriously advanced ignition timing on that pair of cylinders which is igniting the charge before the inlet valve is closed. Or, the inlet valve on that cylind...

Brilliant job Philippe, well done!

You’re getting there! Good job on the points plate!

You’re working really hard on this bike and I for one want you to get it sorted and ride the wheels off it through the summer!

Keep going, you’ll get there!

I think I would also strip out the points and either replace them or strip them down to clean and check them along with lubrication of the moving point pivot shafts.

If the points are so corroded the moving point arms could be sluggish.

I’d check them for sure.

I’m not convinced. The position of the visible cam sprocket bolt on the exhaust cam looks out of position to me and lacks symmetry with its opposing bolt head on the inlet cam. A careful re count and re check is definitely the way forward.

Looking forward to hearing the pin count.

Top Job! Looks awesome!

Top job Bill, they both look spot on!

Welcome back! Nothing wrong with a good shaftie! Although I have my fix from a different stable that’s a bit more on the dark side!

Welcome back! Nice looking iron you have there!

Nice work!
