Default Re: Spark advance

Personally with my A timed correctly have been unable to hear knocking/pinging, including full advance on hills, but still retard the lever on hills as a safe guard. Rebuilt motor with standard head, 87 octane ethanol free.


Have wondered if on the standard head it is not as much as a problem since the A was designed in the 20s when octane was lucky to be rated at 50. Now it is 87 or above.


What do you think?
