Ignition Timing question AGAIN, Sorry!

Post by rob of the wang »

Just sorted my 912 engine after a carb popping problem, ( Tight Valves)
re set points, and plug gaps , new leads ,etc,.

But I would now like to Time it spot on with my strobe, as I have no timing marks of my OWN to check against, only random marks from the old owner in the states, these may even be set for the wrong fuel!

So My Dizzy is a Bosch VJ 4 BR 8, with points, stock solex 40's, Burche (spell) merged exhaust.
What do I set the static at and what do I check the advance at with engine running, any Idea of full advance on this dizzy.

Many thanks rob. :shock:
