You don't have to adjust the timing on the T5 malossi kit. I ran one for 15 years with no problems, the only thing i made sure i did is change the rings every 3000 or so. Just make sure it's upjetted right.

If you think you need to retard the timing a degree or two you can just turn the stator clockwise a mm or two.

You do need retard the timing a lot on PX200 malossi 210 kits and so on, maybe whoever told you was thinking of those.

I have still got some T5 172 kit instructions at home, and i'm pretty sure it tells you to leave the timing at 16 in them.

hi i ran mine at 16 degrees as standard and changed the jetting to 122 which you get with the kit.

There's a certain amount of piston slap on tickover with the 172, although you can't see it by eye the piston tapers down more than a lot of others , also the cosa clutches chatter like f*ck especially if using 1 or 2 tooth different from standard, it's just the gear meshing a bit sloppy. As above, it goes away when revved and everything runs fine
