Hiya Al ! still loving the vids mate, so are the velo owners club, I posted them on their site. I'm still having fun and game with this bugger of mine ! The other day it was p*ssing down here in Warrington so , with the missus out for the day I made myself a big fat bacon butty , huge mug of tea and got me Velo books out for a read. Few months ago Al I had a look inside the cam timing side and as I took the case off a small dowel/pin fell out ! At a guess about 3mm wide by 6mm long. Had no idea where it was from so just out it to one side. Well the other day, whilst munching on me butty I came across something in Norms Technicalities. He was talking about the advance and retard, which on mine is a BTH. He mention how faulty they can become, but mentioned a pin that can wear or even fall out, had to stop munching for a few seconds lol. Haven't as yet had time to investigate yet. One thing I found was with regards the cam timing marks is that they don't line up as to the book. That was explained to me and I timed it as to a picture somebody sent me. But you mentioned Al, dialling in the cams? What I learned from my looking and asking questions is that the cam gear is a press fit to the shaft, and after 70 years of different owners, and no real guarantee from the factory, it may me a bit out, maybe even a whole tooth. Can't seem to find any information about dialling cams in Al or on the advance and retard, including the mystery pin. I'm the sort that loves to know everything about what I'm messing with so I'm wondering if you might consider a video on cam timing and ignition timing?? My MAC has no insides to it, no windings etc , it has coil ignition but As I say its being a real barrrstard lately. So any help or explanation or better still a vid on this dialling in would be immensely useful !! Cheers Al.... Al
Hi Alan, we will definitely put together a video about dialling In the cams in the near future. I was going to put one together on the 350 build but missed it . Dad dialed in the cams while I was at work. Thanks for your feedback and thanks for watching
