Dyna 2000

[dago]

thinking about getting a dyna 2000  for my 1229 efe has skimmed head .they have retard wires to retard ignition  by 5, 10 , deg when earthed .on my 3rd

 stater clutch was thinking i could have a button just for  starting, and generally are they worth the money ? running dyna s at the mo, not too sure about the mech advance retard

The mechanical advance is usually foolproof - they either work or they don't! Check that first. Easier than swopping to a dyna 2000 just for the retard (which IMO doesn't work that well) is fit a switch in the ignition live feed so you can spin the motor over without ignition then once its spinning hit the fire switch! Usually easier to spin over if its not trying to spark as well!

cheers for the reply i just wondered if there was any gains to be had over the dyna s. i have the kill switch wired so i can spin it over then flick it on after the last starter clutch went

does efe have mechanical adv/ret? i thought only the 1075 motors had the mechanical adv ret unit, the efes being retaded electronically?

True

but he said it has a Dyna S so will be using the 1075 A/R unit

switch for the ignition sounds reasonable to let it get spinning first, but it also sounds a faff!!

Modify the mechanical advance so it's got less initial advance - it makes life much easier for the starter. Just grind the stoppers off the inside face of the bob weights (Highlighted in red).
