Ignition timing advancing with revs?
Posted: Sun Feb 17, 2019 12:09 pm
Hi, please help!
Currently trying to get my timing sorted on my LML malossi 166, ignition system is LML (separate coil and CDI) (fixed timing)
Timing is strobed at the 3000 ish rpm at 17/18
Thing is when I rev it high and the pipe kicks in the timing waaaay advances to well above 20. Is this normal? Surely this can’t be going on inside the engine.
I will add that I have melted a piston on this previously, however at the time I put that down to the timing simply being set to high to begin with, of course I’m now starting to question if this was the issue.
Appreciate any response! Cheers
