Today I tried to do the timing on My IP since I have replaced the injectors on the engine and did not time the IP after that. The meter I have (MT480) for some reason would not show any rpm readings and the degree gage would go from one end to the other . I do not know what is the right position for the two switch's on the meter but I tried all positions and still not get any readings. I called Mel for some Help so I could use He's ears and experience and get it back to normal. I advanced the timing from the original mark and lowered the rpms (for some reason it would always idle at 800-900rpm). I can tell there is a difference in power/response now and sure there is a bit more smoke under acceleration, which I do like but I wonder if that will affect the mileage or not as long as I don't floor it all the time. Would advancing the timing increase fuel mileage or decrease?
Any way I like the fact that now id idles lower and seems much quieter than before.
Hope I ca make it to the meeting on Gettysburg and get it timed right again.
EZ.
