Ivy: Timing and Loose Wires

So Ivy losing spark was either the timing being off, or the points wire getting disconnected, or maybe both.  Although the disconnected wire makes more sense as I may have kicked it loose when I stopped to check for smoke the previous day.

Still, good to set the timing correctly anyway.

With that done and the points wire firmly connected, she started up easily and we ran a few laps around the hood with no issues.  Though did need to tighten up the clutch cable a bit.

Ivy: Static Timing

Static timing and points gap.  Getting close...

Roxy: Static Timing

Checked points gap and static timing.  Oddly, the gap was now down to 0.3 mm where it had been 0.5 mm at the last service (Aug 2014).  Strange, but good.

Was it because I had turned the entire points plate clockwise to fix the timing issue?  I can't remember the sequence of events now.  But either way, the points gap was good and the timing was dead on.  So all good.
