Mechanical Advance and Retard

hendred
Does anyone out there know at what engine speed the mechanical advance should reach full advance?  My Silk seems to idle at about 1300 - 1400 rpm and with a fixed electronic advance such as the Pazon or Boyer would give full advance at idle. These are set typically for full advance on a four stroke at 3000 rpm where the cam rotates at half engine speed.  I have been looking at programmable advance ignition systems to see if they are an option for the future. Hence the question.

Thanks,

Jon

Hi Jon,

The idle seems high to me I have a nice steady idle about 1100 rpm.

Sorry I have no idea what happens to my little weights when running
