APRRSV said:Hi Slick. Thank you for the input. Are you saying that AAU unit, if set for 28 degrees advance at, say 4000 rpm, would be at zero degree advance with engine not running or at slow idle?

You'd probably get off with anything from three to twenty degrees BTDC, for starting and idling.

Well maybe I should have been able to hold it but that didn't stop the throbbing pain in my armpit where my knee hit it.acotrel said:What does kick-back mean ?
