Thanks for your feedback and I will send you a plug or two! I have enjoyed your tech articles more than once and when the day comes to go Demon, you are on the top of the list.

I have run total timing from 36 to 44 degrees and never noticed much of a difference. Just seat of the pants. I have never actually taken performance measurements. But it seems to run fine just about no matter where I set it.

I recently put in a slightly hotter cam (226 and 230 versus 214 and 226) and have not tuned the carb. At last glance with the new cam and new plugs, they look a bit lean to me and as though they did not have enough timing (if I am reading your site correctly) with 38 degrees total.

I will yank one as is and send it to you Monday.

Thanks
Rick
