U really should jump that terminal for timing, lol
I didnt say that as in I dont jump it to check timing. I just have been doing it when I check it quickly to see why its backfiring. Ive seen and owned 22re's that have been way off timing for years that run better then this build. I just set it at 8*BTDC with the jumper installed and it ran so Retarded that it wouldnt go over 2400rpm without popping so bad my nabors thought I was shooting the AR15 so back to 16* it was for the night while I kept looking around for other issues to look at.
