Bud,

I just went back to see what I wrote in my sent file and here is what I see:

> Since the XPAG/XPEG engines only have a single timing point, one

> the timing.  Since i have a dial back timing light, I use that to set 
> the timing at about 50 - 60 BTDC at idle and a total of  350 BTDC at

I'm not sure how those extra 0s got in there (perhaps my e-mail program 
is multiplying everything by 10).  Anyway, you are right it should be 5 
-6 degrees and 35 degrees.  Looking at the quote in your e-mail and what 
I wrote, it may be that the degree symbol that I used may have gotten 
converted somehow to 0s.  I wonder now, how many other e-mails that I 
have written, using the degree symbol have wound up as 0s.

Cheers,
Dave
