Hi,

Think I asked once before but can’t remember the answers!!

My Sprint has a Kent fast road cam, with Dellorto 45s, Lumenition electronic ignition.

Could somebody confirm for this setup what the ignition timing should be, and also at what engine speed and with the vacuum advance connected or disconnected.

Thanks in advance,

Chris.

Mine is a very similar spec and just got it running. We set it up on a rolling road so I am not quite sure what the actual setting is!

I can put a timing light on it tomorrow and see what it is at tickover if you like.

OK ticking over at about 800rpm it reads as 10deg BTDC.
Kent KCDMS1 cam, 45DHLAs, Lumenition and vacuum connected. Full sports exhaust system and itg foam filters.

Hi Russ,

Thank you very much indeed for the info, that’s great, and a very close spec to mine - if not the same!
Will check mine in the week.

Best regards,

Chris.
