[SEL] Starting Stover - Need Help

[rdhaskell at juno.com]

 Hi Rex.
The generic timing for flywheel engines is:  exhaust valve should start
to open 35-45° before bottom dead center, and close 5° after top dead
center.  Spark should occur 5-7° before top dead center for each 100
revolutions per minute.  With the greater number being used for low
tension ignition and the smaller used for high tension ignition.
Void where prohibited or taxed, your mileage may vary.
