My timing is locked out at 34*. It is only while I am turning the key at the helm to actually start the engine(s) does it retard the engine to about 16* or so in order that the engine will turn over easier. As soon as I release the key the engine immediately goes back to 34*. We rigged/wired our own little tiny start/retard box to do this---works great!

I was setting the initial on a TB V the other day. They say to ground the wire before starting to lock out the electronic advance, which I did. After that, I experimented with not locking it, and it made no difference that I could tell. I wonder if I was doing something wrong. :confused:
