Hi Guys! On page 28.42 in my bentley, there are instructions for ignition timing In the last paragraph for adjusting with timing light it says,"Notch on V belt pulley must match separating line on crankcase. That is where mine has been running but I have discovered that it has a lot more snap when set at about 3 degrees BTDC. The paragraph above this talks of 5 degrees BTDC being displayed directly on "tester". I want all the power I can get out of the engine but don't want to burn holes in the pistons. Thanks for your help on this. Bob |
