Let it warm up and set idle at 800 rpm or so. With my Pertronics I first set the timing by ear. When I got it set at a point where it ran well, I tightened the clamp. I checked the timing with a gun. The setting was 20 degrees BTDC. The book calls for 15 degrees but the timing with Pertronics is a little different. <br><br>Price Lindsay<div><div>67 BJ8</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Sent from my iPhone</div></div></div><div><br>On Jul 5, 2015, at 8:52 AM, Mitch <<a href="mailto:dayton21@comcast.net">dayton21@comcast.net</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000"><div aria-label="Compose body"><br>Hello ,</div>
