Does anybody have the instructions for timing a Slickk mag online that they
could E-mail me. I also need to know the steps for getting it set on a VW. I
have a GP manual, but do you think I can find it right now. Thank you a for
any help.

Keep in mind also that the vacuum advance was used for spark retard under
load when accelerating (not for gas mileage as some think) because the
vacuum advance was hooked up to a manifold vacuum source (one that exists
only at steady state rpms) and so would disappear on acceleration from any
rpm.

You are correct Serge, the retard I am referring to is the retard AFTER the
engine is running, especially at rpm. Virtually all systems start at some
"base" setting, and if this is too high, hard start. If it is just base timing
low, then easy starting. When cranking a computer

Glad to hear you got it going. Making airplane noises is a lot more fun.
Some times I forget the small things that I have done. Since the mag comes
new with a blank harness cap ( for those who do not know, the mag and the
harness assembly are sold separately), I made my own leads from
..Yep, I bought an induction timing light for the electronic
ignition; now I need a dark room. Also the mag has regular aircraft type
shielded harness.. I got it as a package deal from Great Plains...
Thanx for the getback,

I don't have the little light box nor the knowledge of how to time the mag,
so our technical counselor, who has the tool and knowledge agreed to assist
me with it. So, after work today, I went to the airport and quickly changed
clothes to get ready for the job ahead.
Then I saw him ( technical

.OK Netheads I have one for you on the mag timing issue.
If you have a mag with a built in lag of 25 degrees and you time it at 29
degrees BTDC is the impulse gonna fire it at 4 degrees BTDC when trying to
start.???
Right now I think that is our situation. If it is we will have
Hello Dan
By now you have probably timed your mag. I hope so. If not here is a
quick and easy way, provided the mag has not been opened and the internal
timing altered. First identify which position on the mag is the # 1
position. In reality it does not matter, except that the existing

Well, today, we did time the mag. Orma, that is very good information and we
had already done those "prerequisite" things. Steve says that it should be
timed at 29 deg before TDC. Well this Mag has a 25 deg lag, so, if we did
that, and we did, it would try to start, firing at 4 deg BTDC,

We have an auto timing light that connects to the battery and the plug. Does
anyone know if this can be used to time the magneto, dynamically? Is there a
tool that goes between the plug and wire that gives you a place to connect
the timing wire?

hi dan funnily enough we have just been playing with timing with a sttrobe

rpm on the mag , we scibed a white line on the crankcase half and a line on the
spiinner back plate .
spiinner plate is good cos you can
Hello Dan
I don't see any reason why it can't be done.
Caution!!! If this procedure is accomplished with the prop installed, it
puts the operator of the timing light in close proximity to the turning prop
which can kill.!
As for a special tool, I assume that you are using a standard

I have a type 4 long block 2l VW engine.What are the figures for the best
