[QUOTE="CarlHungness, post: 174058, member: 2517"] I did give up long ago and sought help from journeyman Vincent rebuilder Glen Bewley whom I've known for decades. We know that we've both studied Vincenteering and have read all of the same literature. The difference is Glen has taken his knowledge to the highest level, become a proficient machinist in things Vincent oriented. He has basically said, [I]"You KNOW what to do Carl, think[/I]! Thus each time he's given me a suggestion I've slightly raised his ire because I've said, "I've done that." He has shown extreme patience with me, given me a few hundred dollars of his time and all he has gotten back is aggravation which I've transmitted to him. When something comes out of Glen's shop, it's as it ought to be. I am actually pretty happy to hear that others have experienced the fiddle with the ATD problem. I THINK I got it installed OK first time as the bike fired and ran for 60 seconds, and then it quit. It sounded normal. Thus the reasonable thing for me to think is, get the mag-ATD fitted and Bob's your uncle. [/QUOTE]
