How many degrees of timing does a blown alcohol engine need?
With a very powerful 44 primary ampere magneto, only 22 degrees of timing is common. Nitro fuels run a lot more fuel volume and, as a result, need more timing. Example: For a blown alcohol engine on low percentages of nitro at a low level of enrichment, 40 degrees of timing was typical.
When to change ignition timing for maximum power?
Optimum timing from a fixed (locked) ignition advance occurs at only one engine speed. Ignition timing is too advanced at engine speeds below that and not advanced enough at engine speeds above that. Changing the timing value up or down changes the engine speed up or down for the optimum ignition timing.
