<p>I'm not saying all advance is used at idle, but what I'm saying
is that when all the mechanical advance is used, you're at a
different advance setting than before (you had to change the
timing after changing the springs, so when you do that the full
advance amount changes correspondingly). I'm unclear which
direction it changed. Your "at 3200 RPM" observation would almost
always be at full advance regardless of which springs you're
using.</p>
<p>Stiffer springs should equate to less advance at idle than before
I'd think.</p>

<div>Tony, if I follow you correctly, you are saying that by
changing the springs I may have made it so that all the
mechanical advance is used up at idle and I may have no more at
speed. Where with the older springs I would get mechanical
advance later in the rpms and so have more advance at speed.</div>
<div>Would the marking on the weight of 13 degrees indicate its
maxium advance? If so, I suspect I may in fact be using all the
mechanical at idle since my idle timing jumped past the pully
markings and I can only estimate a 10-15 degree jump. Maybe I
should go back to the old springs.</div>

I'm a little unclear on how much you changed the timing, it
sounds like <br>
you had to retard the timing after the spring replacement -
this would <br>
also retard the "all in" timing, which would be what you're
running at <br>
3200 RPM.? It's possible it's worse at 3200 now than it was
before <br>
because the full advance timing is now less.<<</span></div>
