Hi Dirk
I dont know of anyone having great success with the standard Boyer but as you will have seen you can order a special box directly with different curves.
Yes the Silk does kick, I always say you have to give it a brave deliberate kick to reduce the chance but Lumenition bikes are not as bad and wont start backwards as Boyers can do.
If you still have the standard parts I am building some Lumenition MK16 kits up to replace failed units. I can also test your units if you have them.
Regards Paul

Hi,
i just got ready fitting the boyer to my no.112/114.
Mine is advancing as you rev up.
I started with .2“ advance with poor power, am now at .3“ with much better power.
BUT, it kicks back like a mule, no matter if set at .2“ or .3“ !?
....i cannot remember if my (all the others?) Silks tend to kick back in stock form (lumenition),
cause it is 5 years since i last drove it (shame on me the the boyer conv. took so long)
Also i am not sure if the engine is pinging under load esp in high gear.
Is there anybody in that forum who uses the boyer for more than a test ride?
yours
Dirk
