Timing Question?
Rotorised:
Hey guys, sorry to bring up and old thread but i have just bought a PVL ignition for my 500 and im a bit lost on setting the timing. Can i just set it to the fully retarded position and keep advancing until no more power gains and then go back a bit for safety? Can anyone tell me how to set the timing with maybe a reference to the edge of adjusting slot to center of tightening screw? Or is it best to just buy a dial indicator and try to set it to about 0.090in, 2.85mm? Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Brad

It's a good idea, tough lesson to learn if you do not do it right.. Including 2 broken kick starters and 2 pair of boots. Not including the bruises to my foot in the process. Never start with tennis shoes while testing.
Rotorised:
Hahaha yeah my foot is no stranger to bruises from the ol 5hunge, if i cant start it within 3 good kicks with the tennis shoes i throw in the towel. Another question, do you guys run the tiny little spark plug cap that comes with the PVL kit? I tried following the instructions and stripped the high tension lead about 32mm then i ended up pretty much stuffing it in the cap as best as i could. It doest look like the best of connections. :?
