[SEL] Factory Hot Tube Ignition

[JIM KIRKES]

A couple of questions on this.  How many degrees of timing 
change happen by moving the flame spot.  I thought that 
timing was changed by adjusting the length of the tube. 
Would this be a fine and course adjustments.

We hava aTangyes, Hot tube ignition, timing is changed by 
moving flame
 along the tube to advance or retard firing.
It has a pendulum Govenor that operates on the exhaust valve 
which makes it
a hit & miss type eng. most hot bulb engines that I have 
seen operate the
miss cycle on the fuel valve so as to maintain heat in the 
hot bulb, but not
this cantankerous Tangyes.
