Does anybody care ?
I do care! I was replying to post #129 asking «if anybody was knowing what time it was?» The question seemed to me to be out of order in the discussion so I replyed « Who care's » as I was more interested in the progression of this rebuilt than the time it was that's all.
I tried to find the timing in degrees for that engine but found nothing...
Did some more buffing on the front rim, came up reasonably well, I ground the edge down and managed to get rid of the lever marks, but as you can see in pic four the pitting is very bad and very deep, no way of getting rid of that. Pic five is the rear rim. I still have to grind down the edge of the rim to remove the lever marks. Very badly pitted and the area between the nipple lands is very uneven. I'll attack that next but not sure if I'll use them, whilst they look nice and shiny , get up to within a few inches of them and the pitting doesn't look nice. More procrastination required I think.
Nope, haven't looked into any of the commercially available electronic ignitions. Haven't looked into any of the commercially available anything actually, too damn expensive and this is supposed to be a budget build. Although, if I looked at how much I've spent so far, it's hardly 'budget'! I have looked at building a hall effect system, I have all the electronic parts, just haven't got around to building one yet, one day. Plus, I tend to like mechanical things in case you haven't noticed.
Degree wheel is about the only way to find that out. I did put a degree wheel on it a while back but forgotten the numbers.
Wheels won't be the first thing anybody will look at at first glance. There are so many interesting other parts that will attract attention.
