I'm not so concerned with the running timing - at least at this point in time.
My main concern is that I don't have a starter, so I hand crank this thing. It ran like this from the previous owner, and I got frequent kick backs while starting.
Not the end of the world, but I was always gun shy starting it - hoping it wouldn't kick.
And even if I HAD a starter, I still don't want it kicking back.
I just want to retard it - even just one degree -for starting purposes.
Right now it's so close I just can't tell if it's slighty ahead or behind. And that's too close for comfort for me. (and I think it's exactly where it was originally)
Somebody made a good point that it sparks on the points opening. That got me thinking more. I'll research timing the mag itself a little more.
But if I were to move the governor gear back one notch - ... I can't see where that would be a bad thing. Right now that's making the most sense to me. That should in effect just move the whole magneto back a few degrees and give me the adjustment range I'm looking for.
