cathurga,
I was hoping (but doubted) that my car timing light that has the clamp on wire impulse type sensor would be able to give me a reading through the wire shielding. I do believe that the timing is way to far advanced as described by the previous research and want to experiment with the timing and carburetor tuning. I am curious about how the retard and advance curves were going to map out.
Since I have my FG60 on a Extra 330 so I can do acrobatics, static thrust needs to be optimized. Did you need to re-tune your carburetor settings with the timing set at 30*?
