Well, with start ups at Intel Santa Clara and Beal AFB, a GFI acceptance test in turlock and an A.T.S. PM at Fresno Heart hospital last week, I've been able to throw a couple hours at it.

I think you are on it here, hobot. Ain't no two Nortons beat exactly alike. With carb and timing, we are on our own to get proper. Old school. Anything written is only a baseline to start from. Eyes, ears, fingers and the seat of your pants is what it takes.hobot said:But trial and error timing is just fine for me, once I get close enough to even start.

Rest of us are enjoying the trial and error journey into your version of Commando sanctuary. Reminds me what I've missed out last couple years but got one in the oven to pop out this spring, with points ignition to diddle to perfection. So far that been the best to me, easiest starts as don't take much to spark as swinging magnets, idled to 400 and perked right up with least throttle twist ease. So easy and reliable to operate as pure factory, its what I may end up with to the end.
I may use tape on the surfaces to mark till dialed in, then knife edge permanent through the tape.
