I have been in contact with Keith at BME both by email and phone. I have verified that my ignition is at 29 degrees BTDC using a timing wheel as suggested by Keith. While doing the timing tests my ignition switch fell apart in my hands. I think I have had a system failure in multiple places both in the spark plug and the switch to possibly justify my engine to run incorrectly. I have purchased a new switch and I just need the time to try the engine again.
