[QUOTE="Oldhaven, post: 106387, member: 2879"] I think I need to clarify what I wrote above a bit. I can see that it can be confusing. The way this ignition works is that during installation it is timed to TDC with an LED and degree wheel in the normal manner (or at least normal for an electronic ignition). After that when the engine has been put into what you want for a starting position you turn on the ignition and and kick . It will fire at 0*/TDC when it sees it for the first time. After that it goes to its programmed settings as shown in the chart above. I think 12* would be a bit too advanced for that first firing, but it should not kick back at 0*. The ignition will reset to the initial resting state if it sees no motion of the encoder, (if it does not start) and the starting sequence firing at 0* TDC will be re-enabled. I do notice that Pazon and some other starting curves are lower than 12 (about 5*) at starting and low idle and flat up to about 500RPM, so I was curious what your experiences have been. [/QUOTE]
