16 is std marks on a t5
but turn your stator clockwise a mill or so and it will be nearer 14

Ran mine @ - 1.5mm btd on the Scooterotica scale - 15.5 BTDC degrees on the degree scale. Solid for full throttle 100 Miles an another. 172, PM head, reed Phbh set-up etc. Only retard from the the 16 mark on a T5 if your head is unaltered per Std Malossi kit! (or u r pinking) IMHO
