Many thanks for that lightning fast response there Bruce. Good to know those conrods are available. It makes spending time with the 'spare' engine worthwhile now.
Yep, I've got the points gap under control but thanks for that info too. What i'm up to now is the ignition timing. There is quite some adjustment there, and I'm wondering how folks actually set it given that it all happens behind the flywheel?
I kind of suspect that an expedient way of doing it would be with the head off and then measuring the opening of the breakers in terms of 'milimeters before top-dead-centre'??? In other words...if there even is such a measurement for this, could it possibly be in mm from othe top of the piston to the top of the cylinder?
Alternatively, do folks just set it in approximately the middle part of the adjustable range and reckon that's good enough given the fairly low state of tune of these charming little units?
Cheers again Bruce, and hopefully any others who can shed some light on this for me.
