I set magneto timing between 35-degrees & 45-degrees before top-dead-center. The need for spark advance increases with engine rpm. My 1946 Harley-Davidson WR revs to 7,200 rpm, & requires more advance than a street bike WL 45” that revs to 4,500 rpm. #billylane #harley #hd #car

I miss the days of carbonated engines they had their quirks but man nothing beat the sound and you had to learn how to wrench on them. I learned something new watching this video appreciate you passing on your wisdom brother

Just wondering if you’ve ever done anything with the V-Rod engines. Considering the heat in Florida, it might be a good choice for a city cruiser.

Good stuff!! Messing with a friends '47 flatty that has a Morris mag that seems to have intermittent sparking issues but also has an issue with kicker. I think it has too much shaft end play and the kicker gear on the far left of the trans isn't engaging firmly causing it to slip when kicking, not giving me a full stroke kick. Any idea on how much end play is too mcuh?? The manual I have doesn't seem to list any specs that I can find
