But one way to prove my case correct over all the other people is do a cylinder port timing which means setting the timing based off the piston location on the cylinder port. If you do a cylinder port timing I bet you it's going to be closer to my recommendation than the other
You're telling me an engine timed with "less" advance has more kick back then one with "more" advance? That my friend is not logical! You must be measuring timing by some non-typical method to come up with those numbers and still have an engine that runs right. No DLE source that I know of has ever stated how they came up with their timing numbers when most of their later engines are usually timed normal when you receive them. Also, the DLE numbers came from a book provided by Hobbico, not DLE. Rcexl who produced the DLE ignition also suggests timing in the normal 28 - 30 range.
Oh well, I really don't care what anybody does the rest of the day .... I'm going flying.
