timing

Homemade timing degree wheel.

Hey! I just rebuilt my non-hemi predator 212cc motor after running it for a few months after removing the governor and adding bigger jets/exhaust. I wanted to really build it this time so i cracked open the case and added these parts: Mod 2 cheater cam 26lb valve springs Chromoly push rods...

Ambush racing billet flywheel used once like new and an ambush adjustable timing bracket new with coil $80 each shipped or $150 for both to same location .. can text 845-505-2198 for pics or I will post some in a little while

I need to replace the points and condenser on my HH70 Tecumseh due to a no-spark situation. The manual says I can set the points "by rotating the crankshaft until the point arm is resting on the high side of the ignition cam." My problem is I can't really tell where the highest point in the...

If I have a stock engine (gov properly removed) will the billet flywheel with advanced timing change anything?

I have a choice between 24° BTDC or 32° BTDC on flywheels for my modded clone. Which is best, and would I notice any difference between the two? For my clone mods see cake thread. Thanks, Joe

Question #1 If one bought an upgraded camshaft that gives good power at 24degrees ignition timing would they get even MORE power by advancing the timing 6degrees to the cam recommendation of 32degrees ? It gives real good power is it stands. But more torque/power is always appreciated if the...

I'm timing the nos engine i picked up last week and I have a weird issue here. I timed it the first time without any incident but when I was finished i noticed the coil didn't have a spark plug connection. So I replace the coil with a new one and now when I go to time it with the continuity...

I'm always starting very boring threads. I appreciate your patience . . . I'm redoing the ignition on an HS40 55388C for a Rupp Roadster; thorough cleaning, new coil, points, condenser. The head of the screw holding the points in is shot. I don't see one in the parts list for this engine...

So I had no spark on this Clinton model 404. I changed the points, condenser and coil. Before I close it all up and give her a tug, i thought hey I didnt time this sucka. I had to remove the magneto to get the new coil on as it would not slide on so close to the fins. But it doesnt turn the...

Engine won't start now So I removed the governor today, made sure the cam dot lined with crank dot upon reassembly. I made sure the new linkage kit allowed throttle to return normal and it did. I checked spark and it's there. Fuel tank is full..... Motor turns easy by hand and sounds...

Hey guys im trying to expand my knowledge on these predator motors. Ive seen items for sale like timing keys. What are there and how do you install them and what performance gain do you get?

I've heard that some people advance the timing on their engines and I was thinking to do it also... but my question is, what does advancing the timing really do? and how much can you advance the timing? I saw that Small Engine Cams.com sells up to 12deg timing advance

I know everybody swapped their engines out so let's we what happens... I need the timing key for the 97cc engine they came on the Baja racer doodle bug... Please let me know asap thank you

Hi Folks, I DID search for at least an hour....so if I missed it, pardon the ignorance. New non-hemi HF predator engine. New Arc billeted flywheel (non adjustable 8degree advanced) Do I need to "adjust" timing after installation?? Or can I assume timing is "on"? Mod 2 cam BTW. Thanks!

Hello from Oklahoma. First off I am not a small engine mech. So bear with me please. I just bought a BAJA MB 165 for $40. The previous owner stated that it was running less than a year ago (YEA RIGHT!!!). The carburator was in a plastic jug, well part of it was. I finally had to replace...

When installing a new timing key do you want to try and advance the flywheel over as much as possible or is the idea that this will move itself back and forth when spinning up and down ? And to quadruple check its 54lbs. for stock flywheel on a clone engine ..correct ?

what is the stock timing set at on 5 horse flatties? I need to know this value so i know how much to move it. also the offset keys come in thousandths. how many degrees per .020, or how do they figure that, is it 1 degree for every .010 offset?

After a quick google I see .35 before TDC and .65 before TDC this is from a 1972 Rupp HS 40. both numbers are posted on this site in one place or another. thanks for the help

Been waiting to get around to figuring out what I did wrong with the HS40 going on the Powell. I knew timing was at the limit of the slots, so had some wild ideas about what I'd do to fix it. Since I have moments of zero pride, and am feeling humble, allow me to confess that when I pulled...
