KR ignition timing

Recommended Posts

Want to check static and ignition timing on my KR.

 

Am I right in thinking it should be 6 deg BTDC? Will it run better with a bit more advance? Do I disconnect the black/red connector at the coil? Need to block off any vacuum lines?

 

Can the KR run on 95 RON by retarding the ignition? To what setting?

 

Thanks

6 deg is the factory setting, there is a 6 deg mark on the flywheel if you don't have a timing light with advance adjust. Just check it with the engine up to temp and the radiator fan not running.

A KR should only be run on 98 RON fuel and above, so you shouldn't run it on 95, some may get away with it but bear in mind that pinking starts well before it is audible.

Run on 99 RON super unleaded you might get a bit more power by advancing a degree or two higher.
