I initially thought that it was just worn funny so that the difference
in timing occured. However, since no one else seems to have ever run
into this I'm willing to believe it was "born" that way. Actually, this
makes me feel better since I can assume that my new one won't eventually
wear into a similar pattern.
At the risk of being outed as a potential "cobber" of Guzzis, I had
considered modifying the points cam with a grinder/file/emory cloth to
try to even out the timing.

One set of points, but two lobes on the distributor camshaft which lift or open those points to create spark for each cylinder. One of his distributor shaft cam lobes was obviously machined incorrectly and has been generating this error since day one. I can't believe such an error came from cam wear. Hard to believe that such a machining error got past the QC folks. :-) Patrick Hayes Fremont CA MGNOC L-403 AMA EV, SPII, Centauro, Monza, SuperAlce |
