I wonder if a RCexcell ignition would have the correct advance curve for a 1.35 size ignition? I guess a person could limit the total advance with the basic 28 degree setting...but how would that effect lower idle speeds? Thanks Capt,n
With the correct (or close to it) timing, idle should be much lower and smoother than with glow plugs. A glow fueled engine might tolerate more ignition lead time than the same engine on gasoline, so you might have to experiment to get the best high speed timing. One good side effect of all this is that carb tuning will no longer influence ignition timing as with a glow ignition. You will be able to achive the best mixture setting without playing with glow plugs and altering compression shims.
rcdude7, I really like the idea of setting mixture without playing around with glow plugs. Also the guys that have bigger engines can tap the head of the engine for a standard 10 mm sparkplug, that are lot less in price. Best Regards capt,n
