   Hi paul & All,
   Were now at +30 mins. Run time, 12 starts,
   Test set-up getting cleaned up!
   Will remove PSRU next and get some measurement to identify gear set,
   Local mechanic says planetary looks like Allison.
   Baron 3in1 Gauge, Cyl Temp is on the Psru housing.
   Fuel Press is Coolant Press, Will do labels
   Last 3 Runs approx 6 min. each.
   Tach is from KitFox, I will do calib. check next run.
   Used your method to check TDC, Timing now at TDC easy starts.
   Have Up-Loaded Video for your listening pleasure!

   Great Rolland. Thanks for putting it on Youtube.

   You will need to set the timing sooner or later to 20 degrees
   before top dead center for good fuel burn and power.

   Paul,
   We are using a detachable starter/ 12a has no flywheel,
   with the timing advanced we were twisting & breaking things.
   Have built stronger mechanism We were using had held drill motor.
   WE will advance timing slowly little each run. Need EGT also.
   Best Regards

   Rolland check that Youtube link. I was unable to get it to work.
