This is the most comprehensive guide on this topic. Thanks a lot Robot. I've got a strobe from my friends so I'll give it a try.

Great video! I’m at full advance (screw slots) on my stator plate but can’t get the proper (.4mm) gap and have the points open at 28deg on my VBA. I can do .4mm but my timing is close to TDC. I’m thinking I may have an incorrect stator. Or maybe rotor? Hmmm…

Great video. Could you guys also make a video on how to open the motor on a vintage vespa?

Hi Robert, I really like your video, it's very easy to let me know how to adjust the timing, I have try that few days ago,but I got a problem could't solve, when I set the BTDC is 22 degree (vespa sprint veloce) my point always be small,around 0.2mm only, then I try to make the point open to 0.4mm , my BTDC will be 30 degree..... Just can not be 22 degree and point is 0.4mm

what makes the engine stop running when the sideboard cover is mounted on the same side where the engine hangs?

Do you have the means to show about timing and electric stator?

Why do I get a reading of 81? So, that would be 40.5 as a TDC? Is that the 40.5 to the right of the reading on the wheel, or the left.

why didn't you use a volt meter on a digi multimeter instead of the bulb? Wouldn't that give a much much more accurate reading? Great videos anyway!

how do you get 24 degrees after set up timing 26 degrees? .

@HiFiTechnician 2 ай бұрын

I think you must change the gap accordingly

I hate Vespas. Got to have a special tool for almost everything. Give me a Honda any day.
