If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

Hi Folks,

Have any of you got a note of the Suzuki part No for the mechanical ignition advance unit springs?

May as well change them after 31 years of stretch.

Thanks for the info,

Cheers.

Might be a suzuki secret! Are you into obscure preventive maintenance or do you feel your advance is off? Do you have access to timing light?
 
I love tinkering as much as I love riding, and since the engine is at the end of being rebuilt I figured... why not!

But it seems that they only sell the unit complete so... I guess thats why not! :D

Thanks anyway.

Cheers.
 
As long as the springs are not visibly stretched or broken I wouldn't worry about it JUst clean it up & lube the pivots

Well, have some fun! take it apart and see if you can find new springs to match- this could be a challenge as springs vary due to length, thickness, material, etc. You can buy complete used advance units on ebay cheap, but who knows if the springs are any fresher than your existing ones.
 
Unless it is advancing at too low a RPM, I think I would leave it alone. It's most likely been sitting for most of those 31 years.
