Tracy is offering an upgrade to its software.  A different (better)

starting

algorithm and perhaps most interesting an ability to adjust your

ignition

timing, all  for $45.  I shipped mine to him today.  See his website

for

more details.

Now if he would only add the waste gate control :-)

I just got my upgraded EC2 back from Tracy. It has a 35 degree advance

I had to do the Map table over to satisfy the new advance. But, I have

played with the new 'in cockpit advance adjustment yet'.

35 degrees? Wow!! Really Jerry? What is the theory on that Tracy?

Paul,
    When I talked to Tracy about this advance.  He pointed out that since
you can't physically advance the static timing with the computer, you manual
set it for maxium static advance with the physical setting (twisting and
locking the crank angle sensor housing)  and then you retard (delay) it to
the point you want with the computer adjustment. So take out (reduce) the
delay/retard and the ignition timing is advanced  up the maxium.  At least,
that is my understanding of his explanation.

OK that makes sense. Thanks Ed.

BTW Klause uses zero advance for starting his O-200. I am not sure that
is optimum for a rotary however.
