To get the most out of your water cooled 1.9 liter motor, try changing the ignition timing to 8 degrees before tdc or 35 degrees full advance. My van is a whole different beast. Better acceleration better power band, seems to run cooler and mileage is around 18 mpg for a Westy 85' I've had my van like this for a year now and the van loves the setting. |
