Cheap Ignition Advance
Okay, here's my first 'how to'.
This is a cheap alternative to the $50+ offset woodruff key that Factory Pro sells to increase base ignition advance. Adding advance will give the engine more punch throughout the rev range.
One advantage of this is that the engine will properly time (by the book) if you have the cams out, or if you adjust/degree cam timing..without having to remove the flywheel and re-install the stock flywheel key.
Plus, it's cheap.
I had done this previously..but had to replace my stator last fall and wanted to ride so I didn't get around to it..just put the stator in with the stock(unmodified pickup) and went riding. I meant to get to it, but didn't. Been raining a lot lately, had a day at home and so did it and took pictures.
You will need: 1) Inductive timing light with tach and advance function. 2) Dremel tool/die grinder, narrow grinding bit, large grinding bit 3) allen wrenches/sockets 4) good #2 phillips head 5) good flat blade screwdriver
Ever wonder what this screw is about?
