Hey all
Looking for some input from the experience on this forum. Could the timing affect cold starting? I presume that it could and I would guess advancing the timing would make it easier to start, hence the cold idle advance solenoid. Can anyone confirm this? Has any one seen any difference in cold starts in dynamically timed engines between 8.5* and 9.5* BTDC?
I’ve read in a few spots that a lot of people prefer the 9.5* with modern ULSD but I’m curious if that makes it harder to start in cold weather. Winter where I live is usually teens to twenties with occasional dips to the sub-zeros.
Thanks for the input.
