What would be the best timing for an IAME M1 60cc?

I remember using a crushable plastic ( plasigauge ?) to measure bearing clearance 30 years ago,. solder is a similar idea and much easier to find.

Hi, what would be best timing and squish for mini rok engine?

[@dougbolt143]

Question about the ignition timing. I know TDC is where the main, thick timing mark is and the second thinner mark is an advanced mark. By setting the piston 3 mm ahead of TDC isn’t that setting the timing advanced and hereby should use the TDC mark? By setting the piston advanced by 3 mm AND using the advanced mark isn’t that doubling the amount of timing? Im sure we don’t want too much advance!

Do you have to run race fuel in these or is pump gas ok?

If we forget that 3mm is the rule and not racing competitively. Where is the point of best performance?
