"With the throttle in position 1, (closed). With the engine running too fast with the twist grip shut off and the throttle shut down on the throttle adjusting screw, and ignition set for best slow running "
So, is the best for ignition setting for slow running retarded where I can get it to idle real slow or when it is more advanced where it wants to idle quicker which to me means it's running better ?
Glenn -I agree with Dave- set idle with Ignition fully retarded-Richard
