messing with timeing for easie starting... cr250 ignition

r1yfz · Post by **r1yfz** » March 9th, 2010, 6:52 am

some where someone was talking about advancing or maybe retarding the ignition 5*-10* to allow for easy starting....

can someone show pictures of what they are doing exactly?

Loosen the stator plate bolts a tad and turn it in the same direction as the motor rotates (Left IIRC) - which would be advancing. The slots allow for only a little bit of adjustment. Try a little at a time and leave it to your liking.

so turn it counter clockwise?

if i turned it to the max, about how far would that be?

what will this do to the performance?

When the stator cover is off, operate the kicker by hand, paying attention to which way it spins. Loosen the stator plate bolts and turn it a tiny bit in the same direction. Max depends on the ignition you have in the bike. slots are only ~.75" long on each side...so it doesn't move much. Also, you may need to fatten up your pilot (slow speed screw) by 1/2 - 1 turn in as well - found mine was pinging on the low end. Fattened up the pilot remedied it.

WTF!

maybee this will make sense, if the spark happens before tdc its advance, after is retarded

Turning the stator plate the SAME direction of the flywheel RETARDS the timing

Turning the stator plate the OPPOSITE direction of the flywheel ADVANCES the timing.

Get it ?

I asked Roosty this....

" Roosty I set my clock to get up at 4:45am, cuz I want to be up by 5am but I also set the clock ahead... so 5:00am is really 4:45am.

Am I advanced, or retarded? "

Roosty replied, "YOUR retarded....."
