I’ve forgotten how to set the ignition timing since last strip down .
Do I set the RITA at 38 degrees BTDC or at TDC can’t remember since I last did it ,think it’s old age setting in
Cheers all Alan
I’m about to set ignition on Bosch system from memory it was 6 degrees BFTDC at tick over 38 BFTDC flat out could be slightly more advanced now as fuel is slower burning or so I’ve been told Pod 
Hi mate
Thanks for that ,I’m not sure if the Bosch and Rita are similar or not ,but thanks for the reply
From a Ferrari workshop (“ we always set out ignition at 6 degrees initially)
Couldn’t understand in a Guzzi Falcone 1960 why the magneto only had 15 degrees advance? Then it runs half speed so 1 degree on mag is 2 on crank not in any book I’ve seen! Advance I think maybe different on this long stroke motor? Is the piston at or about TDC for longer period have to think about that?
