Something to do with spark advance...? Just a long distance guess.
ReplyDeleteLovey/Dangerman, I always just ran points but I do know of a couple of mates who had drama with early Boyer units, one just recently, ripped the things out and reverted to the old points caper and instant cure, might be worth havin a squiz, that's coming from a bloke with even less of clue about electrickery than he does about things mechanical though.
