Setting up total loss

[joecef]

Hey guys I picked up a used single channel total loss. I need help setting it up. I'm not very good with this thing. It the 4272 brain. Anyone have settings for this. My motor is a Jm 735 35 domes 180 compression b pipe and stock pump with a 10/16 cut back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The original owner had it in his 760 and told me just to plug and play into mine but thought I'd ask before I did so

Do you know I sell ignitions? Why you buy used junk

 

[joecef]

I do I bought this before you were selling yours. Once this one poops out I'll be making a switch to yours

 

[alex_hockey]

Have you read the manual?

 

[joecef]

Yep a few times. I'm starting to understand it. I guess I'm just looking for a starting point now. I know msd offers a setting to start out with that's pretty basic. I was hoping for some more input

You need TDC and a degree wheel if your msd flywheel doesn't have one.

I use a dial indicator that screws into the spark plug hole on front cylinder to find TDC

Mine does not have degrees on the flywheel. In the instructions it said every tooth is 5 degrees. I was just going to mark the first tooth at tdc and count the teeth

 

[D-Roc]

Yes I have read that but I always used a degree wheel to verify. I think there may be a 5 degree difference in the pickup timing vs actual timing that needs to be figured into your static timing. Not sure on that one but I have heard people say that, when they used the old systems.

Do not count the teeth set it up by using a dial indicator and degree wheel that is the only way to have an accurate aetup.

 

[joecef]

Okay I did that. I set it to

Max timing-max
Retard begin-5500
Max speed-7500
Holshot-3000
Max speed retard-15
31 static

I bought my system before the jstl was out. It's just been sitting in my garage since I bought the hull. I didn't have my engine built yet so I didn't care to look into it

 

[alex_hockey]

You need to use the retard calculator online isnt there anyone down that way that can show you how to set one up?

 

[joecef]

Yes I'm sure I can find someone.

You can also use the dial indicator to set your timing if it has enough travel.

I used this calculator when I did mine. It might help next time.
