Like you, "I mostly just leave the spark lever alone after calibrating it. "

But a couple of times on an uphill I have heard a little "ping' and I will retard the timing a little. So I set the initial timing with the lever all the way up a 5° ATDC, it gives me room. If I set the initial timing at 0° with the lever all the way up, you can not retard it if needed at full advance with the Phillips/Nu-Rex auto advance.

Normally, I have the timing lever down a little, at 0°, and never touch the lever. I hope the makes sense.

[QUOTE=Y-Blockhead;1872577]The timing lever for normal driving stays at 0° at idle.

I should have "said the timing stays at 0° MOST of the time, not just at IDLE. Sorry for any confusion.
