Ref: Automatic ignition timing mechanism (centrifugal advance)
Dear Sirs,
In order to obtain for all three motorcycle models optimal performance
points in the ignition advance, we have installed a new
automatic ignition mechanism as follows:
R 50/5 upwards of Chassis No. 2 901 787
R 60/5 upwards of Chassis No. 2 932 689
R 75/5 upwards of Chassis No. 2 973 307,
Boโขch No.

As a result of this change, the position of the advance point
on the flywheel is altered: If the automatic ignition timing
mechanism is replaced, either use the same type of mechanism
or re-mark the advance point, when adjusting tse dynamic ignition
point; the new advance point is located 6 before the
original mark (seen in the direction of revolution of the
engine); i.e. 12,5 mm on the flywheel in the dire8tion of the
TDC-mark. The static ignition timing point (S = 9 BI’DC) remains
unaltered.

Shortly after the installation of the new automatic timing
mechanism the dw011 ang0e of the contact-breaker was also
reduced from 110 to 78; this prevents overheating of the
ignition coils of fully suppressed engines when driven
extremely hard.
