The clear coat ( Spraymax 2k clear in this case) has hardener in it. Basecoats get reducers (1:1), but they never get hardeners or catalysts. Nice try, though.kickracingmotorcycles said:I would stay away from Rattle can paint. It doesn't have hardener in it. Use real paint and it will last forever.

That's a good point. I often post when I would have otherwise hit a LIKE buttonSONIC. said::
Unrelated note: I disagree about the like button. I'm on a few other forums that have them and I'm not a fan. I feel like it limits the discussion, people just hit like when in the past they would have commented, even if it's just to say "Nice".

Engine and ignition is pretty well dialed in. Hopefully a test ride tomorrow.
Sounded mean at idle, but the advance was moving at least 15 degrees beyond max advance and I have no idea why. The ignition is on the crank, so it can't really be an issue with cam timing. You'd try to give it throttle and take off and the bike would just bog and had no power. I'm swapping for another year advancer, which feels like it has stiffer springs, so I hope this fixes it.Sounds mean.
Is there any wear on the "stops"? I am assuming it has a mechanical timing arrangement with weights that swing out and strike stops on the backing rotor. Sometimes they get a bit indented where the moving parts strike the relatively static parts. Those can usually be built up with weld to change the amount of mechanical advance
If you set full advanced timing, how retarded is idle?
