Be a much nicer ride than the green graph

cheers ryan,
im running 17 degrees static timing using one of anthony tambs external pick up and his dc ignition box running straight from the battery, it might make more power with an ignition curve to the rotax specs, something i might add in the future, hows yours coming along ?

Looking good Holty! What kind of coolant temps are you seeing? Must be maintaining decent temps otherwise that overflow tube would be giving you quite the surprise once it got hot!
I'm running similar initial timing specs, 17 degrees BTDC, total around 24 for now. Will play with it a bit, but it seems happy there. Do you have an EGT gauge fitted? If so, what temps are you seeing? How is the exhaust working out?

had no overheating at all, we havnt had very warm tempratures though and that might change things, but it stays around 50 degrees c and the very small fan does reduce it slightly when switched on, even sat at traffic lights for long periods it stays cool. ive not fitted an egt gauge yet, i might do in the future, i dont think i really need it as its been set up on the dyno. exhaust works well, ive got the scoot way overgeared its a gt200 gearbox on a 17 46 which gives 3.9 top gear ratio and it will still pull it, it has a slight flat spot just before it comes on the pipe but goes well after that
