ignition problems

What are some of the problems you might have if the pickup it too far away from the triggers on the flywheel. i only ask because if you buy the ricky stator adjustable stator plate they say to set the clearance between the two at .020. I assume if it is too far away, it will not fire at all. Would it cause ittermittent spark as well. or what about 1 cylinder firing and 1 not. Just courious to the opinions out there.

I belive Clymers manual calls for .018. My sons shee had mifire on left side , pulled flywheel, cleaned stator poles, inside of wheel, lugs on outside ,set gap, bamm good to go. Also swap plug wires to rule out bad plug boot.

interseting. The same problem I am having. But iot only seems to misfire on the left side at low rpm. When you rev it up, it seem better.

It can also make them harder to start.. I recently set mine and it made a world of difference starting my shee. No more kicking the shit out of it to fire, I can stay sitting down and just a slow push gets it going.. Since both plugs fire at the same time I would say there would have to be a serious difference in the two bumps on the flywheel to cause it to fire on one and not the other!

Interesting with the hard to start. This has always been hard to start. Guess I know what I will be doing tonight.

wow was the gap out of spec. Adjusted back to .020 and what a difference. Starts fantastic and idles great. 2 things it never did before. I guess now it is time to do some jetting and see what the shee will do. thanks
