How to set timing for initial start up on new build?
10-12* BTDC is way too slow. You wouldn't run that total as a proper tune up.
FWIW...I didn't read all of it, but if Hughes thinks starting an engine with that little total is correct they just don't get it.
If they are compensating for the mechanical advance, then I still don't know how they get that number. You could end up with a bunch more total.
