Gee Jimbo, youre about as techy (i.e a Nerd) as I am lol. Having started several hand crankers and HATING kick back I was pretty well aware of the TDC static/start timing. Ive still taken issue over the years (BEFORE COMPUTER TIMING) of buddies who always timed their cars or trucks too darn fast that they got a noticeable pre ignition spark knock when they floored it or were going up hills. I dont mind a tad of it but if they knock n ping too hard n too loud at the slightest hill or acceleration my intuition just tells me THATS TOO FAST...They were the same guys that when they started their cars you heard those bumping the starter and grunting sounds, again because TOO DERN FAST. They insisted that gave them more HP which I didnt n still dont agree with IF ITS TOOOOOOOO FAST.. As you know there are engineering trade offs involved which is why I PRETTY MUCH would hang my hat on what the engineers recommended for day in and out LONG TERM performance versus long engine life. If I was a puller only running short times I can see it different, Im talkin long term average use here for engine longevity.
This all started out when I saw no differecne in timing if the tractor was a 6 versus a 12 volt.
Its cool n damp here in mid Florida today but it beats whats up north I hear
