Minimum timing for TFI and EDIS?

Post by E4ODnut »

Assuming that base timing is set to 10 degrees BTDC, is it possible to get any actual spark timing at less than 10 degrees using either a TFI or EDIS system?

With normal settings TFI will allow down to the trigger angle/offset.
EDIS allows -10 to +59.5 by design.

Thanks James.

That confirms my understanding of TFI. I didn't know if the 10 degree limp home with EDIS was a commanded value or one that was limited by design, as in the TFI.
