Description

Burkhard magneto retard kit includes a clear top, gasket, ignition points and condenser kit and arm with mount pin for installation. This kit is for right hand (clockwise) rotation magnetos, XLCH Panhead, clockwise when viewing points cam rotation (only). Can be used on Burkhardt, Fairbanks-Morse, Joe Hunt and Morris magnetos with left hand roation.

*NOTE: This installation will retard the timing on fixed mount magnetos by shifting the points 10ยฐ, so timing is actually retarded 20ยฐ for starting. The lever is then locked in place by a rare earth magnet when in the advanced running position, by cap screws as in photo.
