I have been reading all the posts regarding the need to retard the timing to smooth things down a little. On the RY post it states that before you retard the stator plate the piston must be at TDC. Is this really the case or can you just remove the flywheel retard the stator and re=install the flywheel? and job done.

I am looking to do this job today and some help would be appreciated.

Cheers in advance..

I would think that would be to measure the timing. If you just mark your starting point (so you can go back and start over) and move the plate in small increments you should be fine.

Exactly right.

Good mod but getting quick with clutch is even better. ....and you'll learn that so much faster so after running into a few bushes

But either way .... Best of balance.
