Checked timing, looks like RTBM, re the Gunson timing light. Stupid 60 degrees of advance would have been 30 ish plus the indicated, giving 90, which would be about right for t’other cylinder, I think. Being a Rita, both coils fire together every time.
Had a brief ride as I wanted to put fresh fuel in. Bike now starts easily, and is idling nicely, and pulling like a train above 3500, with possible pinking on left pot. Flat below, so difficult to pull away, needs a handful. Transition clearly not right & needs sorting, it’s surely carbs, not timing. I have not yet synched the carbs, so that’ll help. Didn’t get a chance to look at the plugs.
Then had to go for a walk to a local pub with Madame. She’s a hard task master.
Didn’t feel like doing any more today, watched French Moto GP. Good race.
Thanks to everyone who took an interest for your replies - it all helps.
Cheers
