If you clean up the pulley there should be timing marks. I run my RR Classic 3.9 on 16 deg BTDC base timing for LPG with vac disconnected. 16 deg is beyond the std timing @ 12 deg, I use a paint marker to mark TDC and the timing marks :wink: This 16degr setting is to be set at idle speed, right? 80...
