Got the prop adapter finished, put the prop on the engine and started flipping it. After about 8-10 flips I got a pop. There is no choke on the engine so I had to use the thumb for choke. After a good choke and a few more flips it started spinning.............backwards. I checked the timing again and it seems that it is set about 8-10 deg BTDC. It is a Melody iginition off of a MLD-28. I checked this by using the original flywheel, it has 24 fins, 15deg between fins. the ignition fires consistantly at one point about 2/3 of one fin away from tdc. I beleive that the MLD iginition is suposed to be set at 28deg btdc. Does anyone know the set point for MLD ignition?
I did find that when I spin the flywheel backwards the ignition fires at a different location, about 10deg on the other side of tdc. Only one of the two magnets actually triggers the iginition.
