Re: E27N TIMING????
Hi Andy,
The way you have timed the magneto is nowhere near number 1 top dead center, hence why it is now back firing. The way to get close to number 1 top dead center is to look for the point where number 4 exhaust is just closed and number 4 inlet is jut opening. When both valves are at ebout the same opening you will be very close to 1 top dead center. A stick down number 1 plug hole will tell you the rest. Just make sure you tie a string on to it to get it out if you drop it in or use some other means to make sure it can't fall in as it is a pain pulling the head off just to get your feeler probe out.
Regards, Frank.
