Auto Advance Unit.

Post by Eric Hatcher_LAPSED »

For an AJS Model 31 Deluxe, 1961, I bought from Price Productions at the last Stafford show an Auto Advance Unit and was told it was developed in conjunction with AJS/matchless (I presume OC) and that it worked well. Unfortunately, when getting the unit home, I found that there was no paperwork or fitting instructions in the box. Can anyone help with either a contact for Price Productions, or details for setting up the unit?
The handbook talks of setting up the standard manual advance using the fully advanced setting, whereas an auto unit will default, for setup, to fully retarded.
I can appreciate that the fully advanced setting on the original manual setup may have been a compromise to cover slow and fast running and it might be a little more advanced with an auto unit. No doubt this would have been looked at in the development of the Price Productions unit.
Can any one help??
