[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 178985, member: 3426"] Thanks for posting that. The eccentric grub screw still remains a bit of a mystery to me. A fellow who posts on here occasionally, checked the internal timing on a single cylinder magneto and found that it was about 16 degrees after the flip point (if I remember correctly). The magneto was functioning properly and didn’t seem to be bothered by the late timing. When you adjust the grub screw, how do you determine the best spot for it? I’m assuming close to the flip point, but if a mag works at 16 degrees, they don’t seem that fussy. Do you measure the spark voltage or just use the spark tester to determine the best position? If you were setting the internal timing on a KVF or KVFTT , how many degrees after the flip point would you set number one cylinder? [/QUOTE]
