I would venture to say that this is what he was referring to earlier about the "timing fairy" telling him one of his mags was set at 25 Deg. BTDC.
Oh sorry my mistake however same still applies. Dont matter if its a digital or a normal protractor unless it set on tdc for intital calibration it will be out.
So leadie please explain how you get tdc.
A timerite is gets tdc but as i said it still has a degree of error.
