Well this is the second time I think I set the timing. What I did was warmed the engine up, and unplugged the spout. Then I set the timing to 12* btdc. Then you put the spout back in, and the timing retards again. Do you kill the engine first? I dont know when to replace the spout.
Nope when the spout is put back in the puter takes over and adjust what it needs. That or you balancer is spun and needs to be replaced which would suck. If you want take the sput out to see if it stayed at 12*.
Wait wait so what should I try? I don't think my balancer is bad i have little to no vibration. But when I set the timing, put the spout back in it retards.
When you install the SPOUT, the timing should advance, not retard. Generally people see about a 10* jump (advance) in timing from just installing the SPOUT.
