Hi Tom.
The timing that I am aiming for is a fairly standard one, giving good torque which is what I want for the lowish speeds that this engine will be running at. adding to that the little bit of desax I have built in should make it pull well. I have plans for this engine as a prime mover. but that's if it all works out.
I am trying to get that (traction engine ) look. with lots of things on the move hence the large cam gear What you cant see yet is the similar spoked wheel on the other end of the cam that will take the small magnet for the ignition timing.
