why is my timing retarded? repost from the 700 board 200

Grif,

thanks for the reply.

Yes, the car runs like shit. It runs hot, it has no power, and it gets abominable fuel mileage...

the balancer clearly hasn't shifted... please see my latest post to 240snowmobile. I am pretty much convinced of that.

and yes, I am measuring with respect to #1 cylinder

What bothers me are my symptoms when I unplug the knock sensor and redo timing readings. If the balancer had shifted, then when I unplug the knock sensor, the timing should become even more retarded which it does not. I have replaced knock sensors and I get the same effect.

If you ignore everything else and consider that all the FI components are new and working, then I have classic symptoms of retarded timing.

the question is just why.
