Has anybody had any luck advancing timing by drilling out the pickup coil and moving it?

Yeah that is a trick people have used. Another way is to buy a CDI that does it for you.

I have done it...and it works ok...you notice a slight improvement. BUT it is a constant...it is linear throughout the rpm range. You would do better buying a CDI that has an advancing timing curve as Doug mentioned.  |

1/2 key width.
I did it and I set it back stock. I was testing to see if advancing the timing was to offer ann more power, I had a bad head with a leaky intake valve, so once I hade that fixed I regained power and set the timing back to stock.

Yep, one way to do it, make slots on the Pickup Coil, other way is they sell OFFSET WOODRUFF KEYS.

Know anybody that still sells them for scoots? Not that I want one...but it may help him if he is on a tight budget. As for me I buy the CDI's with an advance curve built in them.. |
