Ahh, that's interesting. I've never heard of such a thing (not that I
would have expected to).

Yeah, the place I can see it is maybe 60-90 degrees out.
Thanks for the info. So this means the drawing showing the 2 gears on
the balance shaft in the Triumph Shop Manual is wrong? Is this manual
known to be inconsistent or to have errors? I know some manuals are
like that, but hadn't heard much about this one.
