I think there may be some confusion here....or maybe its me,lol. I dont think my ignition is faulty. I was simply doing some timing testing thinking that if I adjusted the magnet via my adjustable timing ring on my hug....it might make the engine run different and/or change the starting performance. The ignitions directions say to set it at 28 degrees which I did. I then kinda played around with it from there just to see if I could tell any differences. I thought maybe I did,but now after more testing...quite frankly I'm not sure. I must also keep in mind its cold out,and I dont have the throttle hooked up to a servo thus I cant adjust how much gas I'm giving it while starting it....I just have the idle screw set at a very slightly fast idle and am starting it from there. It starts after a bunch of flips in the cold,I just though maybe I could improve it. I thought perhaps playing with my timing might change things,but now I'm finding out that the ignition kinda adjusts itself which I still dont understand too well. I was just wonding if it would benifit me at all to vary from my 28 degrees. For this engine,I would prefer it to run super smooth and start nice more then trying to soak every bit of power from it as it will have plenty for the plane its likely going in. I want to keep it vibaration to a minimum.

So,basically what I'm gathering is its probly best to leave it at 28 degrees and the ignition will do the rest? Or what would you suggest I do to get it to run like I want? Hope this might clearify things a bit.....at least to me,lol. [8D]
