I have a question related to this. I recently bought a rev limiter for my
loopframe race bike, the instructions say to set the rev limiter to the
number of times the bike fires in 2 complete revolutions. Placing a meter on
the points & turning the motor over by hand, they open 3 times in the 2 revs.
Does this sound right? I would have thought it would open 4 times in 2 revs.
