[QUOTE="Tim Kirker, post: 16101, member: 200"] Howard After having my Seeley on a rolling road for half a day, I ended up setting the ignition (good old fashioned Lucas Rita) at 28 BTDC, vast improvement. The first replica Black Shadow engine (new BTH "mag") went on the same rolling road when it was fitted in my Rap and we ended up retarding that by something like 10 degrees (it was probably set higher than 38 initially). I've since retarded the proper Rap engine (Rita again) by 5 degrees or so and it's much better. Tim Kirker [/QUOTE]
