Sounds quite noisy at this setting to me.
I used the luminosity probe this time to set and I have to say, there is quite a difference in the two methods as far as outcome is concerned.
With the luminosity probe, I had to turn the pump a dime's width to the driver's side in order to get the 4 degrees ATDC setting. With the 9 degrees BTDC setting using the pulse method, It was turned in the opposite direction to get the setting.
With the luminosity setting, it has more off the line power and less smoke.
This tells me either the pulse setting is erroneous as opposed to the setting. Some manuals says 3.5 BTDc, some say 6 BTDC and now 9 BTDC.
It seems with the 3.5 BTDC pulse setting, it would be close to setting used in 4 degree ATDC luminosity setting, so this what I will use from now on when timing my engine..
