Hey my timing was at 39 degrees. I moved it as close to 28 as I could as mentioned in this forum, but it's still more like 33 or something. The motor doesn't start easy and pops a lot from low to ~2/3 throttle now. I'm putting it back to 39 degrees! It started awesome before. I think it popped before though too so maybe my low end is just rich?? Ideas? Comments?
Way back on page 154, only a month ago, I posted this question. I just thought I'd give a post-flight analysis of what I did to fix it. Timing was off, I timed it right - pictures shown on page 155. Jetting was a tad rich on the low end, I slightly changed that. It starts and runs perfect.

Here's a [link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeLX07dTAU4]video[/link] I posted of my DL pulling my Aeroworks around w/ some smoke. Listen to that beautiful running motor!
