Since I found the VOES was leaking vacuum. I plugged the vacuum leak and removed the VOES. I then attached the wire going to the ignition box to ground completing the circuit. So what i’ve done is setup so the spark is always advanced all the time.
I tested it and I am getting no pinging,or knocking at all, from lugging to the upper side of the rpm band. In fact this thing running the best it has since I bought it.
The Voes I removed was set to trigger at 4Hg. I went ahead and ordered one set at 6Hg. 4Hg is just wrong for a 113ci.
I do not want to burn this motor up or put holes in my pistons. Is it safe to cruise it with full spark advance on or not?
Thanks
I’ll wait for Jim (Head Janitor) to chime in but I think with full time advance you’ll find you start running real hot and you might find the bike gets harder to start. It sound like the motor was running retarded and you were getting no advance.
I am thinking the same thing about the temp and out here running to places like Brawley, Amboy, Ramona, Las Vegas and the like it is getting hot enough already. one thing for sure this is a completely different machine to ride once I got the vacuum leak plugged, I don’t believe i could stay on it if I opened the throttle all the way, it pulls so hard its hard to keep my feet on the pegs at a little more than half throttle.
So when I get the new VOES in the mail I will install it.
Thanks for this web site. You have been an invaluable resource in my effort to get my Raider up to spec’s and running right. I see now why Vengeance owners love their machines. I feel fortunate to be an owner.
