By Gerald Blair on Monday, June 26, 2017 - 06:43 am:How much travel should a commutator have from retard to full advance?
Let’s say it is set at the 2.5 inch when retarded where should the rod be at full advance or how many degrees should the commutator move?
Thanks
Gerald

By Roger Karlsson, southern Sweden on Monday, June 26, 2017 - 08:52 am:Just as an example: For automatic operation of the modern accessory E-timer 0.90"+ travel of the commutator is needed.
By Ron Patterson-Nicholasville, Kentucky on Monday, June 26, 2017 - 09:51 am:40 degrees at the camshaft.
Many times the timer pull rod lever is loose on the spark lever rod and you will not get this amount of travel.
