    timing

    Hi, I believe that 9 degrees advance will suit . Check with BeeUtey on this forum and he will tell you what settings and plugs work best. Bob

    10 to 12 degrees BTDC at idle works well but make sure your advances are working properly, lack of vacuum advance will reduce economy, lack of mechanical advance will make the engine sluggish at revs.

    I don't have a lot of experience with the older RRC carby models, although all the 9:1 P76's I did all ran well at 10 degrees. It depends on cam timing and advance curves as well, too much advance, especially under light load (=vacuum advance) the engine may run jerkily. I used to run without vacuum on the P76's and rely on mechanical only.
