Ok guys today I got to play with ignition timing a bit, I went gentle & only retarded timing a 1/2 key width. Which in turn made quite a bit a difference in performance, it starts nicer, less vibration up top, & seems a little snappier. The other thing I did for fine tuning timing is drill the 4 magneto coil bolt holes out to 5mm, which gives you 3/16" of timing swing adjustment. Which gives you quite a bit of adjustability & it's easier to adjust that, than magnet for fine tuning. FYI yellow arrow is engine rotation. So I'm learning from you pros day by day.
