was mucking around with my desmo today and found the sweet spot for the timing it was at 28 btdc for a start erring on the careful side ,i adavanced it to 32 degrees and still no pinging on super unleaded pump fuel , i checked my squish clearance with solder through the plug hole and with a hot engine its 30 thou
it says a lot for a shallow bathtub head and a small squish with 2 plugs
i can kickstart it now and it even ticks over reluctantly
now ive got good base settings il get a
wosner piston 'my mate is an agent for them ' i can get to milling the valve pockets deeper so i can retard my valve timing a bit more and get the rpm up
id like to try and get a bigger inlet in there too such is the life of a tinkerer
