Victoria! Zeke's CB175 Build

We found out that the pits are open at Barber this year. We were also told Mr. Barber wanted the pits to be open so the kids could get up and close with their heroes like it was was in the 60's and 70's. Zeke got to meet the first American Isle of Man winner Dave Roper.

Caferacertv\Naked speed wanted the current value of our build. Zeke said "tell them Victoria is priceless" so I did. They sent an email back and said can you estimate the current value. Zeke said, "76k" but I am not selling her but I will trade Mr. Barber for his museum" just wanted y'all to know.

We took our degree wheel and scanned it. The rotor is 3.145" in diameter. The closest we could come was 3 1/8" using Word. On the face of the rotor there is a T and F and then two marks. Why two marks?


The furthest mark is 43 degrees from T (top dead center) is this correct?

Full advance marks right? When I was programming my EI, the "goal" was to get my pointer to fall in between those two marks at 4-5k rpm.
Edit: maybe a tolerance thing?

right now we have Lucky timed at 43 degrees and is set at full advance. Victoria we haven't checked because we set her timing on the Dyno with no rotor. I knew the far left was full advance but didn't know what the other mark was for before it. We are making a mini degree wheel the size of the rotor so that we can transfer that info to the plate we have for our EI on the crank.

The two marks close together are for full advance. Anywhere between the two marks at 4000+ RPM is considered to be in spec.

thank you! According to this degree wheel we are firing at 5 degrees after TDC and the tolerance is between 38 and 43 degrees.

Just to check where we are on the fly with our timing advance...it is difficult to do a big wheel at the Dyno. This way we can slap the rotor on and see where we are.

he has been kicking my butt until I found this...one of the tricks we learned from Tinmantech is he uses 031" 1100 aluminum wire. We have been using .050" 3003 with 3/32 4043 rod the rod is way too thick and cools the puddle too fast. We have been playing with weld angle. We can make the aluminum ripple without blowing holes. If he learns to do this he can do anything and this discipline requires patience and a cool head. This is the penetration of our welds from the other day. What we do is pull out the body hammer and see whose weld stays together.
