[SEL] 8 cycling Witte

[Edd Payne]

Hi John.While ever you have that much advance on your ignition you will get
8 stroking affect.Cut it down to 5 deg or even les as long as the engine is
not labouring.Also check you exhaust valve spring tension as if it is not
strong enough it will cause 8 stroking as it may be sucked open and give
lean mixture.This can be impercievable to the eye but does happen.
