" Hello Joe,
My engines are coming along slow and steady...... i came to the point where the factory manual talks about adjusting timing on the engines. it says to place the controls in the start position and the timing should be 4-6 deg. advance. i do not have the standards controls ( twin engines) so there is no start position. can i use the start mark on the throttle plate instead? at what point would spark advance start to take place?
also, it says to check the engine with a wheel at 4500 rpm and the timing should be XX BTDC (can't remember off hand). anyway, i don't have a test wheel. can i manually move the spark advace lever to simulate this condition? i am afraid of doing so at it may cause preignition and blow the engine. any suggestions?
