XS1100 0 Posted August 21, 2011 It interests me how the hell do you work out the ignition timing on so many pots? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steph42 0 Posted August 21, 2011 tbh i dont think it'd be to hard most of the engines had mechanical fuel injection , the german meschershmitts had injection plus a supercharger ,timing wise its much like an american v8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nickerbelly 0 Posted August 21, 2011 My first army unit still had centurion ARV's which have a rolls royce meteor engine - basically a merlin engine without the supercharger and they ran through a (bloody huge!) carburettor rather than using fuel injection.Used to sound frickin awesome when we had the engines out on a run-up stand for testing, made the ground shake too!!
