[Spridgets] Checking timing was: pinking problem

[Mike/Donna Carpenter]

Frank has the best answer for setting timing.  It is very easy to do if you go by ear and feel when setting it.  Just make sure that you are burning the grade of fuel that you plan to use most often when setting the timing.  I have used the guns many times before I still wind-up restting the engine to what feels right.
