<div><br></div><div>Hi Friends,</div><div><br></div><div>In 1953 when my TD was built, the average pump petrol in Britain was 72 octane. Today, 93 octane is not uncommon, if unleaded and contaminated by alcohol. So instead of following a 60+ year old workshop manual (even if I could find a recommended idle speed in it), what warm idle do you recommend for a healthy XPAG? How about cold idle speed on the 'choke', which is of course, not a choke in American-speak?</div><div><br></div><div>How about static timing? The same manual TDC, with a maximum advance of 32 degrees. What do YOU use?</div><div><br></div><div>I'm reminded of the quote, "Practice always works in theory, but theory doesn't always work in practice! " Thanks for your advice.</div><div><br></div><div>-rick</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div id="composer_signature"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"></div></body></html>
