    pull the center hub and be sure there arent any burrs on the base where it seat against the advancers case, object is to have no dragging spots. Sort of looks like some melted plastic debris on the base plate. There isnt much on the advancer to fail other than rust and gunk on the weights pivoting pins. No broken springs there so it may just need some heavy duty cleaning.

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      Well it ain't that Chuck,the hub finally let go and:

      The weights where loose but you see that slot?The little weights by the sprig fit in them locking the mechanism.The only way to get the hub in is to slide those weights into the slots

          Yeah that sums it up.Did clean the eyes,the front eye is on the outside ring,the back one is on an inside ring.

              It looks like this was the way it's meant to be as odd as it is.

                Hold it all together and twist the center and see if it snaps back when you let go. If it does then the advancers springs are returning it.

                  The advance is disabled and it seems like that is the way it's supposed to be.Not sure why though.Spending the $$ for a Dyna S is looking like a better idea all the time

                    I'm thinking even going back to points and I HATE pointsNeed some info on the Dyna S so will be starting a new thread in electric/ignition forum.

                          And just as soon it's back to running on 2 cylindersThe inner 2 aren't going.Checked with the test light they're getting power and both coils read 4.3 ohms but 2&3 are dead.New plug caps and trimmed leads so I think my bases are covered there.Getting a lot tired of this

                            If the Mortek has electronic advance they will want to disable the mechanical advance.

                              The Martek is out and a Dyna S is in now.Looks like the 2-3 coil is bad.
