Hello,

My 13b and EC2 is set at 35 degrees before TDC all the time. To set timing, move to max power (MPH) at proper mixture. Beware, retarded ignition timing increases exhaust temp. My idle is 1500 RPM.

Thanks
Dave Williams

Hi there Matt and all

What computer is controlling your fuel and spark Matt?

Ive left the timing of the EC2 on the Renesis 4 port at Tracy’s default and haven’t changed it but was wanting to do some experimenting.
I take it that the timing setting in the EC2/3 will vary the whole timing curve over the rpm/load envelope.

Cheers

Steve Izett
Renesis 4 port EC2 EM3 RD1-C
