tobster Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 is it possible to check/set the ignition timing using a strobe? If so, what should the advance be in degrees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ourian Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 If you google 'ty175 strobe' you'll find instructions on how to set electronic timing with a strobe, they give a measurement of 28mm (on flywheel) BTDC or 22 degrees BTDC as full advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobster Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I've been told 1.8mm equates to 20-22mm before TDC on the rotors surface. A bit of maths indicates this will be 17.6-19.4 degrees BTDC. The points gap had been a bit large and the strobe said 21 degrees. I've reduced the points gap and now it is showing 18 degrees. The engine is noticeably crisper now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
