How to measure static angle?
The most accurate procedure is with dial gauge.
Apply to single and multiple cylinder engines.
Necessary tools:
- stroboscope light
- dial gauge
Follow the procedure:
measure approximate static angle, just to have starting point...look at drawing below.
Anticlockwise rotation:
TRIGGER POINT
TDC
static angle
Clockwise rotation:
TDC
TRIGGER POINT
static angle
program CDI with measured approximate static angle
program CDI with flat ignition curve...16deg advance is suitable for most engines.
find information about engine stroke and conrod length
convert programmed flat ignition advance angle to millimetres
