Come to think of it, every way you try to correct the K2F mag is a bodge- of a bodged up job that came out of the factory gates in the first place- it wouldn’t surprise me if some boffin at the Lucas factory devised this method, as Lucas would be fearful of the ramifications of the British motorcycle manufactures that used K2Fs in their heavyweight twins and would have been snowed under with warranty claims all related to ignition timing! They had to do something about this as stoning the cam ring would be too labour intensive !
The earliest reference I have found to correcting the K2Fs is in a 1966 magazine which was long before I purchased my first heavyweight twin – no doubt there were articles in the weekly comics in the 1950s referring to the same symbols.
The only thing I wished I had done was to mount the whole magneto between centres – minus the cam ring of course- and clocked up how far out the outer body was out in relation to the centres of the armature – I am sure the 7 degrees I found mine out was not all down to the cam ring.
