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

My advance is set and fixed at 27 degrees. The rotary leaks so much at
cranking speed that it is not at all sensitive to starting advance. We ran
over 35 degrees on the old wide apex seal engines. They crank fast and start
easily.
