Randy,

The springs are tight and have to be stretched slightly onto their posts. If I remove the weights and the centre plate I can see how the range of movement is limited by the slot and pin mechanism. There is no retriction here and it moves through the whole range. Again, the advance movement can be demonstrated physically by hand pulling the weights out with your fingers. From this I can measure the movement in degrees using a cardboard disc. This shows roughly 15 or so degrees. Surely this should equate to double that at the crankshaft damper, as the Dizzy rotates at half speed. Or am I completely wrong here?
Nick
