timing advanced or retarded

[ducatigirl100]

Hi

I've reacenly  chaged the pick up coils (900cc 1995 monster).

Altough I've intalled the new one at the same timing mark the bike runs "rough"...
so far.......
Not the carb
not the ignition modules
not the coils

Symptoms...
engine runs rough
it backfires when I twist the trottle to hard
it "skips a beat every minute or so


Is it to advance ?


If so how I sould  adjust it ?

Did you set the gap to spec?

You could put a timing light on the window to see where the advance mark/dot is in relation to the pointer at full advance.

I know,  that what I wanted to do.... but in unexplicable  way .... I wrote the tread here  

I just hope it will get relocated in "tech" by the moderator...

You can move it yourself

The directions for adv and ret are correct as the flywheel rotates anti clockwise or forwards.
You need to adjust the gaps to spec and hopefully it will be ok.  If you move the  pick up brackets without marking their position you're in trouble. You only removed the pick ups themselves ay?

Have you replaced the plugs ?

I find that a new pair of plugs every now and then does wonders for how my 'bike runs - whether they're needed or not :-)

I   remove the bracket beacose I add to change the sprag spring in the flywell.  And yes I mark the timing before removing it and placed it back at the exact same position.   But I didint check the air gap     spec. 0,6mm to  0,8mm. ...

Arg!!!!!!!!!!       I ll   check the timing whit a stobe ligth.... but I will have to open the side cover............again....

On the good side I'm practicing making good gasket joint .

Yes every 200km I replace the plugs .....

Do you know at what RPM the strobe ligth test sould be made .?

[koko64]

I cant remember exactly. With oem ignition boxes full advance should happen pretty quickly when you rev the bike. It's a surprisingly low rpm. The manual will say.
You have oem boxes or Ignitech?
