Ignition Advance on 2 and 3
« on: April 01, 2016, 08:21:47 PM »
Weird thing tonight, just did the point gaps and static timing, and went well , started her up and checked cylinder 1  with a strobe perfect although the mechanical advance was at the upper end, changed strobe to cylinder 2 and the tickover timing was spot on but the mechanical advance was way past the marks!
How can that be, anyway before I could investigate more my new timing light packed up.
Anyone seen this before?

Sorry not an answer but a piggy back question. Is the idle timing 15 deg TDC? Sorry for gate crashing question.

The points for 2,3 are on a sub plate that needs to be calibrated separately.
Where's that 10mm socket got to?
