Flyboy Dave,

When I write information to the end user I have to take into account the user and various experience levels of the modelers. To state that the engine is "knocked out of timing" is just short-hand. I have ghost written many articles for various magazines on engines and glow plugs over the years and many other well respected names also simplify their statements to a laymans level. Although, the intention is to point our draw backs of castor based fuels in four strokes the technical aspects could be better explained and will be addressed in the near future. Thank you for pointing this out.

Jerry
