Checking in with the members. My 750 Combat has had an issue for the last couple of years not being able to pull above 80mph in top gear. I've worked through several things from carbs to camshaft - these items all check out fine. Lately I suspected timing although had set this to 28 degrees max a while back. Over the last weekend I put a strobe on it and I'm seeing two timing marks. That indicates the two cylinders are not firing at the same point. I have a Lucas RITA ignition and notice the reluctor has touched the coil contact at the pickup at some point (points location). Checking to see if anyone has experience with the RITA and common faults. Up to this point I would have said the RITA is bullet proof. Before spending $300 for a Tri Spark I want to be sure this is a cure.
