That would give you piston travel but not the ignition advance degrees. ERC
I realize this shows piston travel. But I thought piston travel/position
WAS relevant to ignition timing? The manual clearly states that the timing is to be set 3/8" BTDC at full advance. I'm no rocket scientist, but that sure sounds like a measurement based off of piston travel to me. As far as advancement, I think the Auto-Advance is good for 32*, not sure about the manual advance control, but I'm sure it's similar.
But if I am wrong, then riddle me this. How exactly is one to set timing with a degree wheel on the crankshaft if the degree and location of the piston are irrelevant to the timing degree angle?
