How useable is limp mode or fixed advance?
Posted: Wed Feb 25, 2009 1:40 am
Currently I am sorting out a jetski with an EDIS/MJL but have been sidetracked by my old farm fiat panda 4x4 mini lorry which needs sorting, after 10 years of hard work and neglect.
I am tempted to fit an EDIS / coil pack (because I have spare) to replace the knackered distributor and since I hardly get out of 2nd or rev over 3000 I was wondering how fixed advance would cope.
I could set the advance to any setting but it would be fixed in rpm and MAP after that.
As I have no idea just how bad fixed timing is I am seeking some comments to help decide if I go this route.
Cheers
