Was doing a valve adjustment on my friend's motor and he asked me how to read his gears. on me because I had no clue how.



What is this gear set at?

 

its advance, not sure 2 or 4 degrees.

but anyways, the middle dot is 0, linning up the line to the left or to the right adanaces or retards it. 1 or 2 degrees. not sure how much.
i will look for my sheet that came with my todas. and let you know tomorow.

 

If you can post the sheet or someone else, that would be great! I remember a thread with it but can't find it.

Searched and found dead threads:

oo those gears are soo pretty. damn rusty *** juns.

 

looks to be almost at zero.

vernier scales are fun to read.

from the toda web site.

• The graduations are the same as thoughts found on a vernier caliper, where in adjustments can be carried to 1 deg of the crank angle.(0.5 deg of the cam angle)

 

I would have to concur, it looks like zero, but due to parallax, it looks like its at 0.5deg...

Vernier scales rule.

looks to me like 3 degrees, too.

You act like yours aren't rusted

 

tell you the truth they are not. they look brand new

 

sorry for this newbish question...but what improvements/gains will you notice when you advance your cam gears????

 

Its 2 degrees advanced. These gears read just like the STR's. Go from the center, count how many degrees you want to advance or retard.

Start from the outside, count notches of how many you want to move.
Go to the inside, count the same number.
Match the outside notch with the inside notch and you're done.

 

Looks more like 3 degrees advanced to me. IMHO.
