check the advance at 2500 revs, if it advances to +30 then its ok

i know a bit about timing but you talkin bout gettin a strobe on and reving it to 2500 and check ithat with the flywheel mark? cos i got a snap on timimg jobby from my mechanic, can i use this yeh?

oh and 30+? whats this mean?

resize that pic mate, it's a bit large  :laugh:

Done!

Cheers for advice, is that the reason it is running a bit lumpy about 3000-4000 revs?

it could well be, toh there could be so many reasons for this! timing, idle, co2, vac hoses, oil pressure blah blah blah...the list goes on!

when it was running, the project ran like a bag of nails with the sender connected once warm. once disconnected it purred like a kitten.
