After about 5 years or see so, I decided to get the Lmc 1500 out of the shop and get her to run again. Had to drain all fuel out and change filters a carburetor rebuild was next. Reset timing from 9 degrees btdc to 13 degrees btdc seems to have more power than before. Ran into our cabin and bladed out the gates which were buried in 4 foot of snow. Nice to have a blade on a cat for sure! Here are a couple pictures.

Interesting, I am going to check the timing on my 1500 this weekend, most things I have read say 10 degrees, did you notice any rise in temp?

Did not see any noticeable increase in engine temp, but it starts better and has more power. The 10 degrees timing is good to what altitude? I had read that anywhere from .5 to 1 degree more per 1000 foot increase in elevation above 6000 ft. Not sure if all this is correct but the amc 258ci. engine i have is running better at the altitude we cat which is 9000- 10500 ft.

I see, we run at no more than 2400 ft. so maybe 10 degrees is a good number for us.
