Thanks again for pointing that out. You can see the advance curve on the face plate.

Boy, idle hands with the social distancing - gotta' have something to do!
Reading your posts reminds me how much I've been impressed over the years with the level of expertise that many GasGas enthusiasts operate at. Many of my best tech ideas and innovations came from customers. The first such submission was in late 1999, from a customer who was an electrical engineer who sent me the schematic drawing (hand drawing) of a homemade rectifier he had made from a few dollars (less than $5) of Radio Shack parts. He had a new 2000 XC250 and wanted to add a cheap aftermarket horn. He
needed to change the voltage from AC to DC for the horn, without buying the $42 GasGas horn rectifier.

It was the first of many useful bits that customers who were smarter than me shared over the years. The tech articles on web site's home page still feature some of them.

Kudos.
