i need a memory refresher from someone please, its been a while since ive had to do this.
i need to retard the ignition a tad.
am i right in thinking i need to turn the dizzy anti-clockwise (towards the radiator) for this ? .. and obviously clockwise, the opposite, towards the back of the engine to advance ?
cheers :thumb:

its normally done with a strobe light so i dont pay attention to what way i turn it. However, thinking about engine rotation:
towards the radiator would be retarding
towards the bulkhead would be advancing
you also need a timing light and some tipex if your even thinking about touching it.
what engine??
remember the factory/haynes figures were for leaded fuel, so will need retarding a touch to get right
