I'm working on a friend's 1974 125 SD with Sachs Engine/Motoplat. The manual I was given states Ign timing is 2.6 to 3.2 mm btdc. Quite a range! Any suggestions on a more specific setting?
Thanks

Richard its been so long ago that I had my Sachs I forgot how I set the timing. I would split it right in the middle of the 2 . I know they can run backwards if to much advance.[:0]

I am running mine at 2.6 and using pump high test. You could advance more with race fuel.
