Message: [QUOTE="Ol'89r, post: 1230487, member: 17212"] You are probably 'out of phase'. The timing of a magnito has to be phased in with the electrical pulse that a mag produces. Or in other words, the mag only produces voltage during part of the engine revolution. The timing has to be set during that pulse or within those parameters. Those parameters usually exist when the magnets are passing over the coils. Once the magnets have moved away from the coils, the mag is no longer producing enough energy to produce a spark. The timing disc with the higher advance is most likely moving the timing beyond that range. In order to advance the timing you would have to re-phase the mag by moving the plate that the coils mount to and re-align them with the magnets. Not sure if this is even possible with your engine since we don't know what kind of engine you are working on. Food for thought anyway. :cool: [/QUOTE]
