MSD total loss question

[WFO Speedracer]

I am timing up this MSD total loss and with the plate fully advanced I am only getting 22 degrees static out of it,does that even sound close to right?

Need more info...Single channel? multi channel? analog? MSD flywheel or something else?
Yam? Kaw? Seadoo?

I got it frigged out,gonna have to do some modifications to the plate,its maxed out full advance

I had to do some cutting on mine to get it to 33. The way it was, I think I could only get 26-27, and it didn't take long to get it to where it needed to be.

Yeah charles told me about that,I am going to have to do something similar here as well,I want about 28 degrees or so

Kewl I just scored the retard selector off of ebay for this setup,now I have the retard selector and the rpm selector,now looking for a rev limiter selector lol

Old anolog systems...You MUST set timing through the RPM range with a timing light as sometimes the CDI boxes and chips didn't do as they say, I don't have any info with the accessory switches. Yes, I have also had to slots some Seadoo MSD plates in the past to get more static advance, but be careful about a lot of static timing, as the analogs don't have a lot of retard, compared to the new digital MSD's. I liked to shoot for no more than 17-18* degrees @ 7400 RPM's on the factory piped 720's on race fuel @ 215 lbs cranking.

Seems like they have enough retard to me ,if you can pull 5 degrees per thousand thats enough,even with my 3 degree per thousand chip I can still run 28 static and pull off 12 degrees that leaves 16 @ 7400 rpms when the retard selector comes in I can run more static than that.
