[QUOTE="Jez Nemeth, post: 120052, member: 3871"] So with all engines having slight differences with each machine -carb set up, flowed heads, piston compression, wear, cams and fuel -would seem the only truly accurate way of getting best performance with the timing is a rolling road scenario as Vibrac suggested -and a tank full of the most accessible tipple commonly available at the pumps. Set the timing to 36 deg, but put the mag on the edge of the 3 slots, so when adjusting will only rotate as far as 30 deg BTDC on the full rotation of the Mag body in those slots counter-clockwise, halfway on the slots seems to be about 33 deg, can move it with a modicum of accuracy to find 34 and 32 deg. Happy with this as it allows for adjustment on the roadside so to speak. [/QUOTE]
