Re: [DMCForum] Re: Limping (Martin G)



Retarding the spark will lose you power from a engine running fine
Advancing the spark from an engine working fine will cause pre-ignition.

Your statement was too sweeping. Dialling in more advance to the point 
where you get knocking, then retarding by half a degree is exactly how 
we tune up our performance engines.

I didn't actually notice your original comment until it was forwarded by 
a friend in the same camp as me together with an appropriate exclamation.
