[QUOTE="gagvanman, post: 632479, member: 17411"] K@rlos, I don't mean to be disparaging but I don't think an engine would run very well with 29 BTDC at idle (i'm sure that was a typo) Yes 29 BTDC at 3000 revs. Today I took out all the spark plugs (no mean feat with twin carbs). No fowling of any of them and all whitish, so still baffled by the exhaust being black. Tomorrow will re-check the timing and maybe set it to 28 deg BTDC at full advance, then tune the carbs using the snail gauge. [/QUOTE]
