(TDC). The ignition timing can be advanced or retarded by loosening the ignition sensor
Phillips head screws and sliding the sensor to the full extent clockwise (32° advancing
the ignition) or counter clockwise (26° retarding the ignition). Be sure to retighten the
Phillips head screws after adjusting the ignition timing. It is best to attach the sensor with
the screws centered in the slot as a starting point.
Advancing the timing causes combustion to occur earlier resulting in
higher performance of the engine. However, advancing the timing also
causes higher engine temperatures and can cause premature wear of
internal engine components.
