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.

Serge and Dan 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

.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? See you in Mt. Vernon - 2005 - KR Gathering See
