Hi; I have an static timing magneto and kicked like hell at full advance so I bought the Morris retard kit and after 3 months waiting finally arrived; the "instructions" are confusing with some O rings that have so not installed yet but seems a great solution for kick to start
The point to have a mag is to ride always at full advance not a bit retarded like many does.

...hello man; very interesting solution. Would be good a short clip showing the kick starting; anyway; what about the vibrations and those lose magnetos? I cannot do that in my Triumph so I guess is even worst on an HD; Have an external spring? but still the advance could vary. Seems many rides with a 7/16 wrench

Hi Pete; sorry about your situation; I have the shoulders and biceps damaged but pass the years and the fuckin doctors do not want to do the surgery letting me out of my job...
Anyway; really cool the way that the hydraulic rod acts.
I just installed the Morris retard kit and I am about to kick it. What I do not understand is that the instructions say to put the points max gap at 0.019 when always that gap is between 0.012-0.015
May be is to have more "room"? With that gap the new timing let the mag body to one side. (Triumph 750)
