Default Re: Optimal ignition timing curve?

Ken,nice work! I'd give it less advance at idle...say 6-8 degrees at 550-600 rpm. Then program it to begin advancing steadily as soon as you touch the throttle...maybe 1 degree per 100 rpm increase for a starting point. It may even like it to advance a bit quicker than that at the initial hit.

Accel enrichment is absolutely needed of course,and if the above advance still results in a bog I'd richen it up on the accel setting off idle.
I'm a carb guy...but that's what I've seen that they like....
