I would be lapping sprockets prior to assembly but I suppose if you can clean every bit of grinding paste off it doesn't matter. I love how these books were prior to marker pens, a lot of unnecessary filing going on.

ok without a degree wheel , but dwell time at tdc is a guesstimate.

I think, anno 2023 , the way to go is using a digital caliper.......set the caliper at 2 inches or so, have the piston push up the measring rod of the caliper, set it to zero, then push out to 7/16 inch for 39 degrees.....turn the crankshaft and wait till the piston touches the measuring rod again at 7/16 in compression stroke....

Dear Dick, I bought last November precisely this model G80. I learn a lot with your videos! Thank you, you are a very serious mechanic! How can I get the parts to replace? I have no direction, no internet address... Thank you for your help! Pablo
@TheRideNut Жыл бұрын
Ciao Pablo, where in the world are you? Many new and used parts can be bought from AMC Classic Spares in the UK. This vendor is very well acquainted with these bikes and a very reliable man. his URL is www.amcclassicspares.com Another good website is the AJS Matchless Owners Club. www.jampot.com// You must join the club to buy parts, however, they are a wonderful resource and a good place to learn. Best wishes, Dick Casey. The RideNut

Bulb across the points and a degree disc would be more accurate, or a dial gauge directly on the piston.

Cigarette paper is way easier than stuffing around with lights and shit. Close enough for an old chugger like a Commando.
@nortoncommandoupgradestrav24742 жыл бұрын
@@redtobertshateshandles Why would that be? Any engine needs the timing as accurate as it can be. You find it too difficult to rig up a battery, two wires and a bulb? I guess you don't go too far from home.
@dwansbo11 ай бұрын
Bulb across the points on a magneto doesn't work. The mag is independent of the battery, it only generates current in the primary winding when the armature is rotating. Before 1958 when magneto ignition /dynamo charging was replaced by alternator/ coil / battery motorcycle owners did their own maintenance. Their tool kit was often very basic. Dial gauges were a luxury. An experienced man could achieve a high degree of accuracy with the methods shown in this video. Also with manually adjusted advance and retard the timing could be adjusted on the move. By slightly retarding the ignition the rider could improve uphill torque or eliminate preignition. Electric start and Twist and go is a modern phenomenon. Imagine having to deal with hand change gears, fuel and air mixture levers, decompressors and manual ignition control. Add to that before 1930 carbide lighting sets were common and gave a better light than 6V bulbs. The rider needed to constantly adjust the acetylene gas generator while on the move. Stirrup and drum brakes were useless by todays standards leading to brown trouser moments while riding your vintage machine in modern traffic.
