<VV> Ignition timing question.

[N. Joseph Potts]

How can IGNITION timing make it harder to crank an engine. If IGNITION is
affecting cranking, then the fuel-air mixture is igniting, and the engine is
RUNNING. Am I missing something?

Sure you can!  The Specs are 40 yrs. old,  using fuels that were very
different.....

Just remember you're adjusting just the initial timing......if your battery
ever goes flat...it's much harder to crank it  vs   a lower setting.
