Timing troubles
Well. I decided to retard my timing back to factory ish.
Vs the 8.5-9 degrees of timing I had been running with very mixed results.
@ 8.5-9 the engine was loud, obnoxious from idle to WOT. Idle was 200 degrees. And 400@65mph. On temp gauge it always sat between the first line and "N" at all times.
@ whatever it is now: engine is quiet. Smooth, but at 65 it's 200 degrees hotter. Idles at 300-400 degrees. Dropped 2-3 psi
So Somthing is arye
