Hi everyone
I am working on a 1969 S type commando.
Just reaching the end of the restoration and it was time to fire it up. It´s running the Boyer MK3 with good spark. Already tried setting the timming from 28 to 31 degrees using the counter-clockwise hole with no success. Checked the degrees scale and it seemed in place. So far I only got backfire and some smoke out of the airfilter box. It really seems to be related with the timming.
Also worth mentioning replaced the floaters and needle valve for stay ups and viton tips. Set the fuel level to 4.5mm from the top of the bowl.
Any ideas of what I might be missing?
Thank you very much!
Cheers
Miguel
