    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

Now I've done it

When I set the ignition timing on my '77 GS750 with a timing light I can get the F marks to line up at idle but the advance mark doesn't quite line up when I rev it.

So I took the points plate off to look at the mechanical advance. Everything seems to move freely. The weights move out until they hit the 2 post that are there to limit their travel. So I tried to bend the posts out slightly.

One of the posts broke off. Now I have to replace the mechanical advance unit...if I can find one. Could that post be brazed or welded back on? Does anyone have a mechanical advance unit they want to sell?

Post in the "parts wanted" section.
There's bound to be someone that has one.
Check eBay?

Costly? :-k

Look again, there are SEVEN of them that are $30 or less, including shipping.
