If to retardard then yes. I think said person just means drop it a little.
Gaz
yes thats what i meant, like wind it back 3 or 4 degrees. Running a retarded ignition is exactly what it says on the tin
can't see a retarded ignition getting hot, wouldn't it just be flat and powerless and throw heaps of unburnt fuel out the exhaust?
only experience ive had did that i never ran it long enough to get hot
