When I was putting the ignition back on I put a washer on all 4 bolts that hold the ignition to the engine, 4 washers came out (so I thought) so I used 4 washers going back on.
I found that if the one bolt in this picture has a washer on it like the others, the washer sits too far to the right which will hold the advance plate toward advanced, quite alot toward advanced.
This may have been the cause of the extreme amount of ping I was getting.
Might be worth a look if your trying to get rid of pinging so you can run on cheaper gas.
Not an easy task though since the engine has to come out or the swing arm removed to get access to the pickups.
