Okay...so I put the piston in a position just before TDC and put the magnet on with the mark lined up to the fire mark on the plate. It was good, but a little down on power and running hot. I moved the plate and Temps went down, so I know it was timing. But now I want to move the plate to adjust the timing...but i am moving it in reference to what? Other than its original position.

Just upgraded to an HPI on my 64cc polini kit Puch Magnum (za50), I have gotten it to start by taking off the air filter and choking the carb (real bing, 15mm) with my thumb, but will not idle. Is this a timing thing? or is it something in my carb like jetting? It feels like my old CR80 when it had too small of a pilot jet after kitting it to a 90cc.

Thanks for the great video! Is your Puch engine flywheel rotating clockwise when running? I timed my Suzuki PV50 with HPI210K053 ignition to 2mm, as it was instructed. But I'm not able to get the motor running. I have gas, spark and compression, so I suspect the timing. PV50 rotates to counter clockwise, so I timed the piston to the mark left on the stator diameter. I'll try with less advance per your experience on the 1mm advance next.

Acceleration is terrible and just doesn’t sound right.

So I have been having overheating issues and suspected timing. I moved the base plate ever so slightly in the opposite direction from the flywheel and I still get the same power and same overheating. Moved it a little more, same power, same heat. Moved it a lot more, still same/same. So I moves it in the other direction (same as crank) and it loses power and cools off a little. Thoughts?

I haven't been able to find much info on the forums so I've come here to ask: What is the correct voltage for bulbs when running an adjustable AC voltage regulator like the one trail tech makes?

I'm thinking it's my voltage. I'd like to get a good voltage that will keep the bulbs running a long time but also shine bright enough in the dead of night. Didn't adjust my (trail tech) regulator yet, should be 13.8 VAC as shipped. Any thoughts? Went from 12v 21w to 12v 18 w to 6v 14 w.

The crank is tapered so the flywheels locks to the taper when you tighten the nut.

I think my a55 rotates the other way, and I am using the mark on the left. But it's a moot point anyway, because when I try to tighten down the nut, the magneto moves. I was able to compensate and get it close, but who knows how many degrees it's off by. EDIT: I rotated the entire assembly so it hits the piston stop in the proper direction to tighten without moving. Duh.
