750 GT ignition advance removal

[Basketcase]

OK, I tried searching the forum.

How do you remove the ignition advance unit from a 750 ?

Cheers,

Ideally you need one of these, if in the UK the ILOC tool library should be able to help or not to difficult to make if you are at all handy.

Hi, Rob.
I guess you're talking about removing the flange?
I made myself a very simple tool out of a metal sheet which does the job.
The picture speaks for itself, the central hole is too narrow for an M6
allen screw's head, but wide enough (6mm) for the allen key .
So first replace the central screw with an M6x20 allen screw.
Fix the sheet with the 2 screws that held the advance unit.
When unscrewing the allen screw it will press the whole thing out.

Thanks guys,

They are easy tools to make for removing the rear carrier.

How do you remove the actual spring & cam plate infront ?

Do you have to remove the circlip and withdraw the cam and its weights to access ?

Cheers,

Rob

Hi, Rob.
Just unscrew the 2 screws (originally countersunk) that fix the unit to the carrier
and out it goes.
Leave the circlip.

The flange will generally come off just by screwing the advance unit screws in a bit and using them to get a purchase, use common sense and make a tool if it won?t budge.

Put 2 screws partly in.
Wrap wire around 2 said screws.
Tug.

Well, it took me about 10 minutes to make a puller to Ernesto's description.

56mm long piece of 5mm flat bar stock.

2 holes 5.5mm diameter, centre hole 6.5mm, all spaced 23mm.

Worked a treat.

Cheers,

Rob
