Kickback

Post by Monty »

Egor my 1960 14 is trying to break my foot by an aggresive kick back, I checked the timing as I suspected it to be advanced but it appears to be spot on.
It has Wipac 6v electrics. Any Ideas?

Has it only just now started doing that?
I know little about Lightweights and nothing about Wipac electrics but since there haven't been any suggestions........
If it's kicking back badly the ignition timing is almost certainly over-advanced.
Does the A/R assembly move freely and return to the Retarded position when the engine is stopped?

Are you following the instructions on page 20 of the Owners Manual in the link below?
