    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. 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.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Thoughts on Timing

On my '78 750 there're the "|F1*4|" and "|F2*3|" marks on the rotating timing plate beneath the breaker plate. Do the two vertical lines in each case denote the permissible ranges for timing? Currently my timing is set right in the middle of the "|F1*4|" and "|F2*3|" marks, centered between those vertical lines which act like a border. (This was set with dynamic timing)

Is the "|T" mark for static timing?

So if I hook up a inductive timing light and crank the motor, where should the mark be?
 
Should line up with the T mark F is full advance as I remember If set between the two your timing is advanced OK as long as it does not ping

Are you sure? I set my timing as per the Dyna instructions when I originally put it on. Just for the heck of it, I hooked up my timing light to it last night. I put the inductive clamp on #1 wire and cranked the engine. Mine, too was between the |f1-4| marks. I did not run the bike (I have no gas tank), just cranked it.
