    Yes, my bad. Of course the points (and where they lie in relation to the piston positions) play an integral part in the ‘timing’. I guess I was over simplifying it. But yes, I do get it. The key for me was the cam on the crankshaft.

    For me, once I figured that out it all made complete sense.

    Like the pre-war cars with the advance on the steering wheel.

    Best Regards,
