Taurus 52 HELP!
 
Could someone please give me some information on a Taurus 52?
What should the plug gap be?
How many degrees before top dead center should the timing be set at idle?
What is a good starting point for the low and high needles?

Thanks Steve

RE: Taurus 52 HELP!
 
Just in case anyone is interested in these figures.
Here is the answer directly from Bill the builder of these GREAT motors.
Here is his answer:

plug gap normal. .022-.025
28/30 degrees before TDC
close both needles GENTLY then open LO 1-1/2 HI 1-1/4,
depending on mix these settings are starting points.
recommended mix if new engine 50:1 STIHL or KLOTZ
If engine is broken in more than
3 to 4 gals. then 80:1 AMSOIL can be used.
Bill

Thanks again Bill

Steve
