Hello Customworks3d:

Thanks for an instructive video. I will use this approach very soon on one of my engines.

Even though I accept this method, there is something I dont understand;

When the rpm is high, it should fire at 28 deg.

When rpm is low, it should fire at near TDC.

Right?

And yet, you move it slowly over the sensor, and it should fire at 28 deg? Is the EI made so that at standstill, it also fire at 28deg, then move it close to TDC at low rpm, then increasing to 28 deg at higher rpm?

Thank you for taking your time!

Is it always going to be 28 degrees for all motors? how will i know which motor needs what for my two stroke gasser, for example, if im trying to setup on a dle 55 is it also supposed to be 28 degrees? Just an honest question that i dont know the answer to. Thanks.

Very nice. One question - when you say you're using a "piston stop" - is that the same as an ordinary spark plug, to basically hold the pressure inside the piston?
