what setting for ignition timing
Posted: Thu Jun 02, 2011 9:02 am
hi all,
thanks for everyones advice so far- new question.
the engine in Ruby is a standard 1275 single su but no engine number so not entirely sure of age or exact spec -haynes manual gives a variety of ignition timing settings depending on age and spec of engine - most common seems to be 11degrees BTDC but for 1985 on standard compression engines it quotes 7-9 degrees btdc ,
is there a way of telling which it should be other than by setting it at one - trying it - and if it runs fine leaving well alone ?
thanks
