Subject: Re: Igniton set up for my M45 engne
Many thanks for your helpful replies.
I am setting off on the track of replacing my existing BTH magneto with a BTH mag that I have my eye on, which has an integral Advance and Retard mechanism.
Your comments, and those of others I have spoken to, see the advantages in keeping the two timing systems in synch (as far as possible).
This approach will also avoid me having have to separate the existing two manual advance and retard linkages that are already in place.
The snag, of course, is that I will have to modify (or cast up a replacement) aluminium casting that carries the BTH mag as the replacement unit will be a an inch or so longer than the current one... This should keep me busy for a bit.
Meanwhile many thanks again for your helpful suggestions.
