Installing an advanced timing key

[ohiocowboy1277]

Has anyone installed the 4 degree advanced timing key ? If so can you tell me if you still line up the timing marks the same way? Also which way does it get installed? With the step towards the front of the quad or towards the rear of the quad? I’m trying to correct a slight timing issue and get some power back because right now it’s slightly retarded since I changed the stator. Thanks for the help

What was the issue with the stator? I'd honestly fix that first.

For the key, your flywheel will be off by 4 degrees so when you set to t it won't truly be at tdc.

I replaced the stator on it because it went bad and when I did the new stator threw my ignition timing off because even though it works it was a cheap Chinese one. Where I had no bog before and nothing changed except for the stator now I have a slight bog a little less power and it’s been running hotter
