Timing Calibration

[ryota]

In terms of Set Base Timing, I have a question.

In case

1)Lock ignition timing to 10 degree

2)See actual timing as 12 degree by using timing light

Then, 

What value should I input to "adjust offset until ignition timing" column of set base timing?

2 is correct? or -2?

Subtract 2 from the current value (if it is currently zero then it will become -2).  Make sure you hit the enter key after typing the number in, it should turn blue to show it has been changed.

Thank you for the reply.

You mean if I put +2 (Not -2) to the "adjust offset until ignition timing" column, actual ignition timing will be adjusted to 10 degree in this case?

[Adamw]

No, if you want to retard timing by 2 degrees then input -2

It’s clear, thank you for the detail.
