Now that my ES2 rebuild is finally running, I have another query.
The ignition automatic advance mechanism that came with the bike is clearly stamped 15 d.
I have set the timing at 38 d fully advanced as the books say.
At slow idle (350- 400 rpm) it fires at about 5 d BTDC.
But it reaches fully advanced at about 1150 rpm – is this correct, it seems too soon?
The ignition point starts advancing as soon as the revs pick up from idling. It fires at about 15 d BTDC at 600 rpm.
I suspect the springs are too weak.
At what revs should the timing be 38 d?
At what revs should it start to advance?
A diagram of ignition timing vs revs would be most useful – does anyone have one?

Should the two little springs in the AA unit be identical - mine are, but I've heard that they should not be?
New springs offered by suppliers indicate that they are identical.
