does any one know how to properly set base and advance timing on an 87 115 inline 6 distribitorless ignition system ive read some forums on it, but seems so confusing. i tryed for like 4 hours to set it right but no luck, seemed to bounce back and forth. and setting running would run out of room with the set screws, could not even come close to 6* atdc on base and advance at 21* btdc would binde up the base when throttled down. im sure the fly wheel is keyed ok, unless pointer is off but it is close but veries by like 4* play from counterclock wise to clock wise. had screws nearly all the way in to get it close but bindes, i read that need to do it cracking after trying running, not sure on the proper procedure, so much differant than a 4 stroke lol, can any one help me out please, i have the specs, just need procedures and it sounds like 1 more person lol to crank it over. thank you!
