TIMING CURVE?
« on: April 26, 2010, 12:35:01 pm »
I'm putting together a 71 cb750 and here's what I gots.  836 Wiseco.  Ported and polished head. Titanium retainers, heavy duty springs.  Webcamshafts 63a cam. (don't remember the #'s offhand.) 29mm Smoothbores.  And.. MSD MC-4 ignition.  I'm not building this bike to race, just want a bad ass daily rider.  I've been laughed in my face for the MSD, but I work in a machine shop that makes a lot of parts for MSD, so I figured only the best right?.  The MC-4 is programmable, and I keep looking for the stock timing curve as a place to start, but can never find it.  That's how I got to this site.  Pretty cool by the way.  If anyone can help me out here it would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks and take it easy.  Julio

welcome to HiPo, and dont forget we love pics, loads of them

a bit out of my depth on your specific setup but a typical dyna S, common fit on CB's of all sizes, will give a linear 0-25 (add your static timig to those figures) advance between 0-2500 rpm and then stay fully advanced, as a basic setup it could be a starting point.   

some others will chime in surely with more precise figures.

Great question.  I'l add (if I may) what timing curve others may have found optimal?
It is a proven fact that modifying a SOHC Honda in any way will bring on the apocalypse.
