I think I just realized the retard feature was turned off on my boxes. I should be ok now. Too much timing at start up I believe was causing the kick back. They have great features with those ignition system s. Stupid me confused on all the dials that control that issue. Otherwise I would have to use kill switches to turn over then light it like the race car guys etc.... Friggin A. Thanks for all the help.

The only way to have "start retard" is if using a custom timing mode uploaded from a PC/laptop. There is no "switch" to turn it on or off on the box.

The "anti-stall" curve, has 22 deg of base timing at idle , or should I say "SHOULD have", if you want your total timing to be 34*. if 36* total is what you want, then you would have 24* at idle. Anti-stall and Idle stabilization, are not the same thing. Idle stabilization, is a parameter that must be selected and setup thru the software.

These boxes are great, but reading the instructions that came with them, is mandatory.

Once you guys with this issue verify you're using the correct rotor for your application I'd disable the multi spark feature.

Also if using a stock balancer make sure TDC has not moved.

These Boxes are Loaded with features but like Joe said read the instructions. The idle stabilization is interesting to watch on the timing light when activated. If you have any doubts about getting them set don't hesitate to double check yourself with the light.

Also, if you've activated the idle stabilization feature make sure you set it up so it's not activating during cranking. One of the parameters is how many signals to ignore during initial cranking.

I spoke to Daytona and they said that mode would work, I'm going to verify with a timing light.

so you have the mode switch on 1 not 0 and you were getting kickbacks?
