I suppose that would work too....just that you'd then have a real slow advance 'cause of the spring tensions.
My problem was that with the raspy XE295 cam, I needed the high initial (18*) and very quick curve in order for the engine to not stumble.
Beleive me...me and my son spent HOURS.....or should I say DAYS....setting up the advance to get that SOB to idle.
It DOES NOT do it's "sometimes high idle" thing anymore, and it will idle at 800 rpm quite nicely (well...NICELY for that nutso of a cam).
If you have any kind of lumpy cam in there, I would tend to think you would have to go looser like I did.
All this info was originally fed to me thru guys here on the forum. I did what they said...and it worked.
What else can I say??
