Paul, PVL timing settings needed

[454MRW]

Paul,
Do you have the timing specs handy for a PVL ignition when used on 1976-77 125, 175, 250, and 400 engines. I have installed a 175 in my 76 125 MC5 chassis for a backup bike at the Reunion Ride, but I don't have an instruction sheet for the PVL ignition that was on the 125, and need to know if the timing specs are the same as for Motoplats. Thanks, Mike

Gary,
I couldn't find any contact or email info on the site, but there was a listing for timing specs on various engine sizes. One thing was very important was not to use a G, GV, or S series (standard) NGK plug with the PVL due to the higher required spark these plugs require, and may cause very hard starting. A NGK V or VX series fine wire plug was recommended, FYI. Thanks, Mike

Dane,
Thanks for emailing me the specs for the 175 engine timing with the PVL.

Ron, I had already found the Penton Racing Products website, but no email info on the site, only phone and fax #'s, but thanks for the heads up. Mike
