Tracy,
Is this the current guidance? I have never re-timed my engine
because of the hassle of standing behind a prop running at almost full
throttle. I have mine set at 35 BTDC static. I have no
success trying to change it in Mode 8, but with 215 hours and (now) good
solid power, I hesitate to change anything.

35 Deg BTDC is the current spec for static timing but
I have heard a LOT of misinterpretation regarding this
proceedure and what it means. Add to this that finding TDC on
rotor 1 is subject to a wide variety of errors and things get very
confused.
But first of all, you need to fix the wiring of your
EC2 and front panel. Judging from what you have said, there is
almost a 100% chance that something is wrong. Don't settle for
this situation just because the engine seems to be running
fine.

PS, Just got back from SERFI fly-in where I got the
best alternative engine award. Could have fainted. There
were several there that looked prettier than mine.

Good to know that timing has that much
effect and the crucial manifold
pressure to set it at. I think
Tracy's latest guidance is simple to set
the
static timing to around 31DEG BTDC and then adjust the ignition
timing with
the controller. If you have his version that has
the adjustable ignition
timing.
