a note on the Pazon Installation directions

This is in the nature of an FYI for those who will install the Pazon Altair system.

The installation manual cautions you that if you move the plate back and forth around the place where the led lights up that you could end up with a setting several degrees retarded from what you think you are setting.

I decided to start my bike out at 28 BTDC to help with an easier start in case the directions were, shall we say an approximation of real-world. Of course I didn't believe the Pazon instructions about moving the plate back and forth around where the light comes on.

Yesterday I set the advance using an old school timing light (I think I bought it circa 1970). And guess what - full advance was reached around 24 degrees BTDC.

Long-winded way of saying that if I would have started out my static timing at 30 BTDC and followed the Pazon instructions, then the static would have been a near perfect match to the dynamic setting of 30 where it is now.

I guess that sort of proves Andy out at Pazon actually does know his product.

Thanks for the post , keep it in mind .
Am off to see Andy in a week or so to pick up an Altair for Bike #2
Regards Mike

Another note on this ignition, just be careful when you put the lead wires into the trigger plate. Nothing wrong with the ignition, but make sure the contact is good. Mine just stopped making good contact half way through a run, and It looked like all connections were good, but they were not!
