Sr Telemaster, as Elmshoot says, go back and read a bit, there is a lot of information at hand. I think the MOST important fact, which JieM has shown in his pictures, is that the timing is way too advanced for a gasoline engine, by quite a way. The other thing is that measuring TDC on all cylinders, reveals that the TDC occurs at intervals of 126 between 1 & 2 cyl, 108 between 2 & 3 & 126 between 3 & 1, so there is a variance in the crank spacing between them, as a result of the main rod design.Its not misaligned, its designed like that.
That being the case, getting the timing to 30Deg BTDC on each jug, means having to space the magnets 126-108-126 on the circumference of the prop hub. If you have an FG engine, go ahead and measure it. If you have a reason to question our logic, we would accept your theory as we are all scratching our heads, here, and you are welcome to scratch along with us....or lead us in the path of a solution.
