"Hi guys,I'm trying to set
"Hi guys,I'm trying to set my total timing but I only seem to be getting 12deg of advance ...spec is 8deg at idle so I only get 20 at 3000 rpm on the water(not on muffs)....I thought maybe srpings were too stiff so I checked on plane while a friend brough to 4000 rpm...no more advence. A few years ago I did try to put electronic ignition in & MAY have put new springs in....I'm thinking that maybe they are actually too soft & using up some of my advance even at idle? Anyone have advance timing curve spec for this setup? I have ordered replacement springs for now & set initial timing at 12 so I can get 24 at 3000 but think I am missing some performance here...
I am using timing tape on ballancer with reg timing light- works nice
Thanks,
Paul"
