i currently have varitronic fitted but i dont feel it retards enough when at mid range /cruising, coming off the throttle, stator fully retarded.... sometimes hear pinking,re jetted many many times and feel it is ignition related and i'm getting fed up and thinking will a bgm stator work with varitronic flywheel then fit an augusto advance/retard type thingy?
i run a tuned mugello 225
any help appreciated thanks

The two systems are incompatible, so unfortunately, you can't use a varitronic flywheel with a BGM stator.

you could just retard the timing on the varitronic just rotate the stator clockwise a little at a time until the pinking stops . this will retard the timing throughout the rev range .
have you checked your compression ratio this could be too high

if you file the slots you can retard it further
