I'm pretty ok with single event timing right now, but want to learn more about pilot timing. It seems so foreign to me since I'm inexperienced with multiple events. I mean, I look at tunes that I have made that run well, and they have 35* of pilot timing at 140mm3 and 2700rpm. Giving them like 45* total timing counting main event. Seems like a LOT of timing. But I know it's not, cause when I knock it down to like 10-20*, I end up with my pilot cutting out and puffing white smoke cause of too little timing. So I know it needs a lot of timing.
Anybody able to explain it for me? I'd like to grasp it a little better in the hopes that I can better use the pilot down the road, once I play around with it after getting a little better understanding.
All help would be appreciated.
