($25, cheap) The 4-nipple dizzy has built-in timing retard/advance screwdriver adjust on the LEFT side of the dizzy. That was to compensate for quality (octane) of gasoline available in 1939-45. Even today's cheapest gasoline far exceeds the requirement of the LOW COMPRESSION 23hp flathead engine. So you don't need to futtz around. HOWSOMEVERS: recommend non-ethyl high-test gasoline as E85 is not kind to carburetor parts. ........Dell [Reply]  [No Email]
