Like many "old farmers" or "shadetree mechanics" I have timed by ear now n then and heres what I think.
A lot of folks tend to have the timing too darn fast if by ear, cuz they advance it too far since it sounds smoother n quiter and a bit faster that way HOWEVER its been my experience if you throw a timing light on them after that, youre too fast !!!!!!! Therefore I slowly advance it till she say stops popping and speeds up and gets fairly quiet BUT THEN I RETARD IT JUST TO WHERE SHE SOUNDS A BIT LOADED N A TAD LOUDER AND A TAD SLOWER RUNNING.....
If timed too fast she wants to bump the starter (kickback as it fires too much before TDC) but if too slow she cranks faster but dont start as well...
Thats my experience as a used tractor dealer anyhow, others Im sure have different methods USE A LIGHT FOR BEST RESULTS
