Between 10-14 degrees BTDC, 0 degrees would make it run like shit

LOL! ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
Also, I found that the mark on the dampener is already set at 10 degrees, so don't add an aditional 10....don't forget, spout out!
BTW, if you use the light bulb in the mouth trick, you can advance or retand the timming by clenching harder or softer...or so I've heard. And whatever you do, don't let anyone pull your finger!
