Magna Spark Dizzy

If you are even halfway close, it'll start.

Thanks, just wanted to run it by the brain trust, to make sure.

Oh good, I'm now OK to order one.

I got it to start, and as soon as it would idle, I used the timing light to set it to 10 degrees until it was warm. I then set it to 32 at 3500 rpm, but I was unable to take it out for a spin to get it to a proper temperature. I'll do this as soon as I can and recheck it.

The collective agree

When you get a few miles on it and know how it feels with the timing set at 32°, try it at 30 and even 28° to see where it's happiest. 

I don't think the test light method will work when you have electronic ignition......Bruce

It stopped raining and it got up to 65 degrees today. Took it out for a spin. So much smoother. Ended up with the timing at about 30 degrees. I'll run it for a bit then play with the timing up and down to see where it really likes to be.  Maybe tinker with the advance curve some to see if that matters.

I did notice my tach needle is kinda jumpy when I spool it up and put in the clutch to change gears, the needle will keep on going up, sometimes bouncing to max and back. Weird. I know the engine isn't reving that high. I do have the china gauges. They're on the list for replacement somewhere.
