That's the one! I've noticed it needs a lot more advance than the instructions say, I'm currently trying to figure out the best amount. It's somewhere between 7mm and 5mm before TDC.

Dave, I thought we were going to get busted. Did you let me win ?

Arne, what is the 'advance curve' on that system? What I mean as curve, is the amount of timing change from idle to when it locks out and doesn't advance further.

I rode there many times on my hot rod H2, and that was before the place had so many squids that caused massive problems doing idiotic things, but, then, riding a full on road race bike at mach-schnell through there was idiotic in itself. There weren't many sheriff or police personnel there back then, either, unlike there is today. I came up from the San Jose end, being the service manager for Yamaha of San Jose.

You guys had a great ride - right in my back yard.

I bet you got a lot of attention up at Alice's.

Pizza in Pescadero?

I'll be up and running for the next ride - count me in.

Apparently you can program the advance curve with the Zeeltronic kit that's $$$. The built in curve may be this:

However I am unsure b/c the ignition needs to be set to substantially more advance than what the manual says. I am a little brain dead measuring the timing with a strobe light - I can't see the firing point from outside so don't have a reference to correctly mark the stator plate. When I strobe I see a firing point but don't know where it is in relation to TDC.
