hey guys i have a crrc pro gf26i v2. and can any one tell me what the actual timing is on this motor. the reason why im asking is when im trying to start it , it trys to start but kicks back and foreward and then stops. it has about 4 hours run time but no air mileage yet because it tends to vibrate too much when i throttle up at first, but then it smooths out. i think i measured the timing properly and its at about 38-40 degrees. i used the rcexel timing kit for that. i have moved it a little to the left and right but not much difference.
any ideas?.

Hey Colin

The timing should be @28 degrees..... A lot of the asian engine shops put their timing waaaaaay ahead.. why? They can claim a more rpm...at the expense of mid range and start up. Its a cheap trick.
You want a faster way to check the timing, adjust it and make it right on???

Some of the CRRC engines need the timing bracket modified to get the timing down to 28 degrees

Timing looks easy and best of all uncomplicated to determine or adjust. Great. Thanks!

How so? Can you explain more, please?

thanks henry ,your a life saver!.

I had an SV50 with the same problem. I had to elongate the slots in the bracket with a moto tool or file to get to 28deg. I also had to use a larger washer on one end because I cut the slot all the way out. If that doesn't work, a radiator hose clamp will let you set the timing wherever you wish. The hose clamp is what C-H ignitions sends with their universal ignition set. Works fine.
