Spoke to Jerome,think there may be an error in the graph shown.He`s looking into that.You dont need to adjust the stator,leave at at what timing you normally run on and adjust the switch accordingly,if you get an air leak or shite fuel,adjust the swicth and you can run a slightly more retarded ignition.Mine arrived this morning.May have to postpone cutting the lawn today :D
Its actually for my smallframe Parmakit but can see it being swapped about on all three scoots and buying another two

So yes leave the BTDC at 17 or 19(maybe a bit high) and it will move 8/9 degrees which is a lot more than the Agusto which is only anout 4/5 that I can see move on a 6000 series type. The other thing I'd recommend to people is to use a BGM stator as the SIL ones can wobble about on the BTDC, you can see this with a strode, the BGM one stays put at the BTDC.

Any comments on the timing running to a potential nearing 30 BTDC, yes this will be at low revs but still?

Am I missing something here?

If I've followed the discussion correctly then the this only seems to work to vary the degree of advance and you won't get back to your 'base' setting till it reaches 12.5k rpm? How many scoots rev out that far?

I'd have thought you'd want some degree of retard at high revs?

Surely it would be better if it went a bit on either side of your '0' point, , say with that set to 18 degrees if it went to 24 at 3.5k rpm and back to 18 at say 5000 then on to 16 beyond that?
"Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time; what we really want is for things to remain the same but get better."

I'm sure the diagram is wrong,think its done at about 5k not 12.5k.
