RE: mcculloch 32cc timing ?
Back in the late 90's I put together two of these with some of the parts from TKG. They had CH battery ignitions.
I played with the timing at different settings on the first one. There was not a significant difference in maximum RPM between 24 degrees and 32 degrees. I eventually set it at 28 degrees. The second one I just set the timing at 28 degrees and left it there.
