Mag chain madness

Forums

My mag chain goes from slack (< 1/2") to really tight as I turn the engine. I've fitted a new inlet cam bush so would guess that that end of the chain is running true so the only other culprit must be a wonky armature shaft?

HELP PLEASE

Forums

In the process of building a Jubilee from a box of bits and now confused. I have 3 barrels and 3 heads.

Barrels id numbers 20749/20747/lh-rh 20717?

Heads X 20717rh-am X20715lh-am also 22941rh

How much advance?

I've conclude that my '55 ES2 (but it applies to all bikes) is running somewhat retarded. I started it on full advance with no problem. The question is, the book says 47? advance but that was for National Benzole Mixture (or similar).

Hello All,

I put my crankcases back together today--I used the gasket from a set i bought. I nearly put the cams in the wrong holes. I looked at the manual and it identifies the exhaust as being the forward shaft.

Electra sidestand.

Forums

My newly rebuilt Electra is in need of a sidestand. Does anyone have a spare they would like to sell or know of another that would fit. I know the club has new ones but I don't want to part with 129 pounds to get one.
