Thanks Patrick,
By advancing the time there is more time to burn the fuel. Hence, a cleaner, sweeter smell. Assuming that the condition was rich, would you not agree?
Much has been written and posted about throttle plates exposing too much transfer port thereby causing a rich idle. The solution has always been to close the throttle plates a bit to limit fuel flow from the transfer ports at idle.
By advancing the timing I was able to close the throttle plates at bit and achieving my desired idle speed of approx 950 RPM in neutral and also giving the fuel more time to burn.
