Throttle and advance/retard lever position

[Mike Costigan]

I have owned about seven or eight Vintage Sevens over the years, and every one has had them in the 3 / 9 o'clock position, but they are so easy to alter that I suppose that doesn't mean much. My 1927 Twelve had them in the 6 /12 o'clock position, and I never had any trouble switching from one to the other which might suggest most people wouldn't change the existing position ...
