[QUOTE="MichaelOrgzey, post: 168318, member: 4910"] Hi Davis, cheers for the input.Yes, I'm aware that I will have to check ignition in the end, I put the marks on the small idler and ATD only for my reference. But the thing that puzzles me is that the half time pinion is not lining up on the original mark but is one tooth late. You can see the correct mark (single dot) on the half time pinion being not in line with the mark on the large idler. Since Big Sid build that engine I wonder if that was done on purpose. Now I have to decide if I stick with the "incorrect" settings or if I line up the order marks. As I mentioned the bike ran fine with the HT pinion one tooth out. Since I'm using the original timed breather this would obviously mean that it's timing would now be slightly earlier as well. I will check it with a timing disk. [/QUOTE]
