RE: crank taper
Why would you want to advance the ignition? a stock ryobi is already at 28-29 degree advance. this is where the electronic ignitions are set to so what good would advancing it do as its been my experience any more is detrimental to power. Some ryobis actually have a retard setting of about 20 degree adv to them and when they hit a certain rpm they advance to 29 degree.
