timing advance?

A timing advance adds power in the low to mid range. Fuel takes time to burn so you must usually fire the plug before top dead center to let it burn completely. How far advanced depends on alot of things. What ever Yamaha set the timing at on the entry level Blaster I think they were conservative. If you advance 4 degrees it probably burns the fuel better and makes more power. It also fights the engine more than before. Sparking the plug sooner means the piston must fight the combustion soon in its rotation. After those two thing happen, the result is a increase in power.
 
Definately a worth while mod.I did the vf3s at the same time as suggested and it was a whole new animal.whenn the powerband comes on it screams!
 
do you just roll the stator? my buddy has a blaster and I wouldn't mind modding it a little for him :) pull the lid and snorkel and rejet then advance timing a hair :D I guess I'll run a search when it gets closer to that time :D
 
Run a search for timing advance when you want to do it. You basically slot the mounting holes in stator and rotate 3mm. Rotate clock wise 3mm and you will have a 4 degree advance.
