Brian, 
  Timing is one of the few things I didn't have to mess with. Once al= l the other problems were taken care of and the CAS was spaced correctly,= the engine started and ran fine. What a day! I am using the EC-2 default= setting for the renesis as programed by Tracy and have not even paid much= attention to it or even checked it. Good luck on your next flight. I assu= me you are using the EM-2 and EC-2. What prop are you using? You make a go= od point on checking for CO. I just have one of those stick on cards and= should borrow a real meter as I am running SS flex tube also.
