Hmm...   my only personal intimate experience with another distributor
was on my Suzi 650GZ which has equal weights/springs.  I always thought
that the centrifugal unit was carefully BALANCED thus the weight/springs
must be equal.

I can see the benefit of two elbows on the advance curve caused by a two-
sided setup, but if it's not balanced, won't that cause premature/excessive
distributor shaft/bushing wear?
