My seloc manual says initial pickup timing: align marks (on bracket and cover) and adjust throttle lever to just barely touch cam. Set timing to 4*-6* BEFORE TDC which I have done. However the tag on the support cover says idle timing should be 5*-7* AFTER TDC. I have also adjusted the WOT advance to 20* while cranking ( to get 18* while running).
Nothing in my manual that I can find says anything about how to adjust the idle timing. Should this automatically end up at the right spot after the initial pickup timing is set? Do I have to make another adjustment somehow? Should the idle timing be set/checked with the engine running or by cranking it over with the starter?
Can someone please clarify this for me?
Thanks
