Re: Computer added timing

The reason I started down this path was because of poor off idle acceleration. I decided to check my balancer when I saw so much timing at idle. Even with 12° of advance my marks were off 8° so I was...

Re: Computer added timing

I used a piston stop. Rotated it both ways and marked the balancer using a fixed point on the timing tab. After that I divided the distance between the points and made a final mark.

Re: Computer added timing

I disagree - something seems wrong as the last time I checked the timing it only brought it up to 20-25° at idle with EST plugged in. Also, the timing does not back off hardly at all when I rev it up.
