DuneRoller Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 I searched the forum but didn't find the answer I was looking for. I just installed a 200 watt stator with timing plate. Other than FMF fatties, jets and a uni filter, my bike is stock. Someone here recommended running the timing at +4 on a bike that had a trinity carb and some other work. Is this also a good setting for a fairly stock bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUNEDEMON Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Why only stop at +4 deg? I was informed by a couple of builders that the stock ignition pulls timing out of the ignition on the top end anyway? Thus, if jetting is monitored (which it should be anyway) more advance will only help the bottom end. My timing is set at +6 right now, my next trip to the dunes I'm going to set it a +10 and see how it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallrat Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Demon, you're also running race gas. If he wants to keep using pump gas then +4 is a good compromise of power vs. reliability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuneRoller Posted October 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Sweet. Thanks guys. I set it at +4. Going to Glamis this weekend so i'll try it out. I am also looking at cool heads. I see that you guys recommend NOSS heads. Any recommendation on dome size? And will I need to change the timing again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing can stay and Dave at Noss will let you know what he thinks as far as dome size depending on what fuel you want to run, elevation, timing, porting, etc...

fast500#12 Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 (edited) any thing smaller than 21cc domes and you will have to run race gas due to detonation. how exactly do you advance the timing any way. can it be done with out buying a new plate and which way do you move it?

FIRST BANSHEE Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 any thing smaller than 21cc domes and you will have to run race gas due to detonation. how exactly do you advance the timing any way. can it be done with out buying a new plate and which way do you move it? You have to machine your stock stator plate. and you rotate counterclockwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toolman Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Wait a minute I was told you open the slots up counter clockwise and then rotate clockwise to advance the timing. Let me know for sure i my have screwed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
