You cannot time your engine based on advice from others, you have to buy that vacuum gauge, do the testing, listen for detonation etc. as my book describes. Only then will your engine be optimized and live long. The initial 16 and total 34-36 are good starting points though, but they're only that. And remember, if in doubt, use less timing, that won't kill your engine.

Mikael, think i buy your book and read it this summer on the boat in south France

So , yes, i dialed a degree back. Gonne see first my plugs also, been running 26 all in, instead 36 , could have fouled them ??
Today tech inspection done and got 1 red point

... steel brake lines in front ...so no great problem to solve. Isn't from me, must have come this way from the USA owner and is forbidden in Belgium.. they like more plastic !!!
