All engines do not run best set to fire at 28 degrees BTDC. Just like all carb settings are not exactly 1 1/2 turns open.The 28 degrees is just a good place to start....also a guess of about 20 to 30 degress is a good enough starting point. Fine tune from there. The main thing that when your done it runs good. If the engine does not knock & idles good with a good top RPM...what more do you want???? I will go as far to say....I bet air races...ect have been lost by setting by a person that read 28 is the magic number and was beat out buy a guy that tunes by ear!!!! Capt,n
Oh yea your right. so true. yea thats why all weedeaters and chainsaws have the timming adjustment screw. oh so sorry
Honestly how in the hell would you know. From everything you told us so far you have no idea where your timming is. I dont think there ever was a time that you actually knew if your timming was anywhere close to where it should be so how could you possible know if it runs good at the specifiedsetting or not.
Captn again i got to ask. Do you actually have an airplane. if you had a cookie jar in one hand and an airplane in the other could you actually tell the difference. Have you ever posted an original idea that you acctually thought of yourself or do you just regurgitate info from what you hear others say here?????</p>
From what I can see isthat you haveno idea on what converting a engine is or what it is all about. I was not going to say a word to you about any of this. but when you said that to Captn John, thattellsmea lot about you.
Take the time and think about what a engine is and what it can do. but 1st, think about what people can do with a engine. Some one that has not even touch a engine before in there life. and theytake itand make itwork. No it mite not berunning at its peek but runs so they can have fun with it.
From what you have put in the post. You said thing that makes it look like you know what your are talking about. but do you? I do not know and do not give a rip. I WILL TAKE WHAT CAPTN AS TO SAY BEFORE I EVER GO WITH WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY.
And that is all I got to say about it.
