Rob,
I don't think you would be considered a cobber if you ground
down the cam lobe that was early. I've seen the procedure recommended in
a BMW motorcycle tech manual, although they recommended using an oil
stone. I see the same thing on my /5 as you saw on your Loop, and also
on my Loop engine, although I don't think it's 8 deg delta between the
two. Where did you get the spot-on point cam?
Hey Corntown, ya listenin'? Yea, that's right; I got my engine
running and it's ready to roost the Popsicle, just like when my Sport
ate up that Yellow thang you rode to Mid-Ohio last year!

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. Rob Patrick Hayes wrote:
