Thanks Randy, I really do appreciate your time. I would hope that there is no slack in the chain as it is a new motor, but I will check that.
I have made some progress. I have installed a third set of weights I have and selected a centre plate that seems to accomodate them the best. I now have the weights when installed with springs, situated with the point of the centre plate right in the apex of the weights, so they sit snug. With these weights I ran the motor without springs and it gave 30 degrees of advance. I fitted the springs and it gave me about 15/16 degees of advance at 4500 rpm. So I think we are getting there slowly. Its a bit late now for the neighbours, so tomorrow I will continue and try one lighter spring. Took it to the garage for fuel and she ran nicely.
Nick
