Setting timing on 20V

Postby Crampy » Thu Dec 30, 2004 3:03 pm

Hi all.
Sorry to ask this again but I can't find it with the search.
What are the two pins you short to set the timing properly on a 20V???

I'm going to check the timing on my sister's 20V FXGT, becasue it's feeling a bit sluggish. What else could it be? I've done the plugs, checked the dizzy cap and rotor, which will be getting replaced ASAP!!! Is it worth doing the fuel filter?
It's got 120,000km on the clock, so I might change the leads as well...

cheers

12 degree's if you want to run a bearing!
unless you run 98 octane,

8 degree's for 96.
