I know this was discussed on here somewhere, but can't seem to find it :oops:
Ok, I have 2 Vespas with standard ignitions, first is a sprint, with a Polini, times Ok on a strobe on tickover, but retards to about 24 btdc when revved.
T'tother is a Pk, that strobes fine on tickover but advances to about 10 btdc when revved.

What is the most common failure on the ignition to allow this??
Before I try, CDI, Pick up and the LT coil in that order.

Thanks,
Shaun.

Or do we just ignore the revved marks and settle for the fact it was ok on tickover???????????
(joking, just joking. I can't leave them like that)
