DMC 2 advance curve - again...

[stevepm2011]

I know this has been asked before, for sure:
1983 RGS, standard engine, standard carbs, compression, plugs, exhaust.
Witt DMC 2
I found it on curve 1 (moderately impressed it hadn't been left on curve 0)
My gut feel is that it could use it bit more advance, maybe increase from 32 degrees to 34 degrees.
Recommended advance curve?

Regards,
Steve

So try the search function!

Curve 10 seems to suit most folk.  But 32 degrees is where you want to be.  You have checked the timing is correctly set with a strobe?

Tried the search function, but didn't find a definitive answer (operator incompetence  )
I checked the advance marks, and strobed it - spot on.
Looking at the Witt curves, curve 10 would be my choice as well.

Any other suggestions?

Steve,

Curve #0 is test modus... engine won't run on that.   #1 is similar to the stock "step" at 1800-2200rpm.

With normal german fuels in a stock engine, the 32? curves should be just fine.  You can choose one that suits your riding style, don't think you will have any fuel related pinking issues here that would require adjusting the ignition off the norm.

Don't really know what I use, haven't disturbed the DMC box for about a decade!

Cheers,
piet

Thanks, both!
I will give curve 10 a try. I intend to drill a hole in the mounting bracket so that I can change curves in future without having to take the DMC box off the bike first.

Steve
