This really is your first point of call....Ignore what MS is telling you...Get the timing light on and see what is happening.....If you getting no
advanve, and it's stuck on 20 then my guess is it's a settings issue......If it doesn't work at all, then it's usually
hardware.....As you are not using EDIS, then you will not have a limp home advance number, so MS must be telling the sparks to do something.....
Out of interest...Darrens..Are you using EDIS?.....I'm currently having some prolems setting up MSII extra for EDIS, so would like to pick your
brains :-)

Paul,
Not using EDIS, using twin coils pack (4 coils and four coil driver in MS for V8 wasted spark). Decided to bypass the restrictions of EDIS reduced the
number of items in the engine bay, mainly to try n keep neat n tidy.
Cheers

This is the kind of feedback I need as I really am a novice at this stuff....
I have been tweaking my idle to try to get AFR to about 14 ish but have been reading and apparently this is wrong because have a long duration cam so
should tune 'by ear'... great if I knew what I was listening too!
Just been out in it - to collect my new helmet - and it was running OK pootling along but as soon as I tried to accelerate it got nasty and lumpy.....
going to try one of the maps from the megajolt site on my way home - I am toying with the idea of the one described as for 'highly tuned
Pinto's' as I have a 2.1 with a mildy ported head with 1mm skimmed off to increase compression and a lightweight flywheel and, of course,
a Kent FR34 cam.....
sounds like it should be a good combination -shame it runs like a dog!

I have a vast over duration cam in the V8 and the fuel calculator was miles off, which when your a novice (like me) not having a clue what your doing
doesn't help. My calc req fuel was initially 17.8, I'm currently running at 10.9 with an although slightly high (because of the cam)
tickover at 900rpm, but at a stable 14.1 AFR at 17deg advance.
But allot does depend on your fueling i.e simultaneous, squirts etc. This has a huge impact on running and tickover.
Cheers
