Bendix 1200 - points gap 0.016 +/- 0.003 thou.
Champion - RHB32E gap 0.016 - 0.021.
So one magneto can be 19 deg TDC, E gap 13 deg, point gap 0.013& spark plug gap 0.016.
The other mag 21 deg TDC, E gap 17 deg, point gap 0.019& plug gap 0.021.
Come on now wtf wouldthe manufacture know about timing on their engines.
Cont for some time now fit their engines with matched nozzles as stanard.
I laugh on pages on this forum the expects dont even know how the magnetos actually work. But they coment its a degree out. I wonder how good they be with out that instrument on their low power tractor engine.
When someone ask why leadie dosnt change maintenance facilities i tnink that answer is quite obvious.
