Silly questions, but i jest checked the timing on my TB42S and found the timing set at 20 degrees.....it is supposed to be 9-11 (lets call it 10).

It has been this way for a few 1000 km, since we purchased it last year. Only picked up a timing light today as I can't find the box of old tuning gear (went diesel for 15 years).

Is it likely to have damaged anything? Yesterday morning it had a hell of knock on start up, and it is gone today....going to check compression and oil pressure with a real gauge tomorrow (or perhaps tonight).

Also, it is only showing 22 degrees dwell, and it should be almost double that, but then again it does have a electronic ignition unit installed - I will check it was done properly though considering the timing debarkle.

Cheers
