DIY 4 Degree Timing Advance (Pics)

[99LRDblaster]

Yes u need to rejet with any engine mod...

LRD, I'm confused on how much I have to measure the degree. I guess 4 degrees is like what a quarter of an inch? Does it HAVE to be exact 4 degree or can I GUESS its like 4? Lol sorry for making an ass outta myself

4 degrees is 4 degrees.....doesn't matter how small or large the circle is. The circumference size will change, but the degrees remain the same. YFS stated in his 1st post that 4 degrees is "3mm left on the screw holes and the plate will turn clockwise". I find using degrees with a protractor to be more accurate personally. You can just go with 3mm left if that's easier for you though.

I'll tell you what. I might play with the timing more this weekend. I'll make a video "how to" if I get around to it.

I rode for about 6 hours today,lots of tight trails and some long hills.. This mod really gave me a decent little boost..Seems to rev through quicker.

It helped me quite a bit more, but some of that is because of being a little on the rich side jetting beforehand and I think uncovering a few engine foobars.

Good to hear it helped though. You probably have a similar result to have civicdude had in that it somewhat eliminated the little bit of hesitation he had down low and got through the gears a little quicker.

Just make sure you keep an eye on your plug and MAKE SURE you aren't running hot and/or pre-detonating. Other than that......enjoy. I:I

Running hot? As in overheating? I'll check the plug see how it looks
