I need to know what the correct timing for a 2.0L (built to 2056) with and electronic ignition, no vacuum advance running dual carbs.
I set the timing to 27 degrees BTDC per the manual but it doesn't run right, it seems much happier with some timing taken out. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. |

The engine was completely rebuilt by McMark last year so it's good. I had the carbs rebuilt by JayCee enterprises last year as well.
At what RPM should the timing be set at? Per the manual, it's 3500 but when I try that the motor will barely run at all, it's popping all over the place. If I set it at 1500 RPM it likes it a lot better! Do I have another issue going on? I have no idea what distributor is in it, it was in it when I got it. |
