Subject:      Re: I need help from my air-cool budy's, timing questions!!!

Still have that good humor BULLEY!!!!!!!!!!!


>>>You are wise.
Adjusting the timing by "feeling" is a good way to overheat the motor, or
burn valves, or burn pistons.<<<


Yes it is better than nothing when you are 300 miles from home without
proper tools. And it work fine with temp well below 220F. it was 260F
before i ajusted this one by FEEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You need to be agood
mechanic to do that!!!!!!!!!!!


Read the message, i did everything by the book, it doesn't work!
The breaker point was the main problem, not the TDC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


What your are describing is a FELLING asjustment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
