Your engine DOES mind it-you just don't know it.At 2100 rpm your advance isn't all the way in.Pay attention to what Ernie said.

Actually I do so don't assume.
Under light cruise the advance is not as muchof an issue. I have an initial advance of about 14 and by 2000 I'm up to about 30 with it all in by 2400.

I am not assuming anything.I KNOW.Because if you did know,you wouldn't have your cruise rpm below full advance.
And you are completely wrong with your"light cruise" comment also.You are either at cruise or you are not.

How the devil did you ever think 'merchant of cool' had anything to do with you or the way you interact.
"Merchant of aggressive hostility and know it all attitude" fits better.
xlr8or chips in a little to offer up a helpful comment and there you are to dump all over them.
Gee, with your expertise so prevalent and obviously beyond reproach, we don't even need to ask others their point of view or opinion, we have the self proclaimed "Merchant of Cool" to guide us.

Your another one who knows just enough to be dangerous.Here's a news flash for you:Incorrect info doesn't fall under the catagory of "HELPFUL".
In closing,you do nothing but latch on to a "title"like it actually means something.If this the best you can do(and it is),you really need to hire a writer.Here's novel idea,why don't you dis-prove my comments about timing instead?

Bill,
You are an arrogant prick. Of course you already knew that.

Is this opinion or fact? If fact, can you point me in the direction where I can find this information? I assume virtually 100% of everything mentioned on this Forum is opinion not fact.
Let's assume for the moment you are right, how about a little humility and kindness towards others whether they're right or wrong.
No such terminology as "light cruise" and "heavy cruise"? Sounds like an opinion to me, not fact.
What's the difference between "wrong" and "completely wrong"? Either you're wrong or not.
