Re: [alfa] Dead springs on Magnet Marelli advance mechanism?

Matt the springs are easy to change, you just remove the rotor and there you
are. A second hand ala place should be able to provide you with some
springs. There are different types so you can set the curve to what you
would like. Always rev the motor very hard and check max advance with a
light.
