checked the TDC on mine again tonight and as told before-the TDC marks as supplied on the flywheel are out but did i say 13 degrees out!!!!
Jesus H!!!!
so i rescribed the marks tonight and have provisionally set the ignition again-static. the book says that the ignition should be set with the engine at TDC and that the right hand line should align with the ignition mark mounted in the flywheel cover.
can anyone tell me which of the original lines was supposed to be for TDC? left r right?
as the engine rotates clockwise (as seen from the ignition side) i take it that the leading line is 5 degrees BTDC and that the left hand-and later line is TDC?
finally, i believe that i've seen from Dale Lineweaver recently the optimum advance angle. dale how do you like to set it? a strobe at 4,000rpm and which line? just to be clear mind.
also do you have a 'pool' fuel advance with the SEM?
and also a good quality fuel advance? (note i haven't said mega expensive concoctions!)
man i'd love to put this thing on the dyno now if i've really got it sorted.
