... and not just cos we bought one.

I suspect the ignition timing is miles out on it, runs well above around
1500 rpm, but is rough as hell below. Sounds lovely, but it's a bit
disconcerting when it spits flames through the carb when I'm trying to start
it... starts first time when cold though.

The engine has had a full, *mega* expensive rebuild, and the whole bloody
car has only done 16,900 miles from new anyway.

Problem is, I don't really want to do the timing by ear and guesstimate it,
so does anyone know the correct procedure for setting the timing on one?

Set to how many degrees, etc, at what speed idle?

Ta!
