After working through several problems the ’42 B roared to life yesterday. It is in need of several adjustments – brakes, clutch, etc – that for the most part shouldn’t be a problem. Not having worked previously with magnetos, however, I could really use some good advice on setting the timing.
Before it was running I set the timing using the procedure outlined in the IT manual. It must have been close as it started on the second crank, but now I need to make the final timing adjustments while running. I’ve identified and marked the flywheel timing mark and I have a good timing light that can be advanced. What I don’t know is; do I set the timing at low idle or top speed? Is there any advance? Any short-cuts or pitfalls I need to know about?
If anyone has a good procedure for this I would be most appreciative.
