    Igition Timing Issue

    First couple starts on my 7m. Trying to time the ignition with T and E1 shorted out motor reads -10°. Idles best around -20°. I can not get the timing to 10° where it should be. The CPS is as far as it will go counter clockwise. If rotated clockwise the reading is >-20°. Any advice?
