Re: timeing
Get in touch with someone locally that knows how it is done and then take a lot of notes. I use a vacuum gauge for setting the idle mixture screws and I aslo use a timing light with the advance capability and time to the "TOTAL ADVANCE" capability of the motor so that I cqan get everything I can out of it.
Timing by ear is good to get you home in a bad day, but go the extra mile and do it right. |
