Re: b18 timing (How to) 120-130 1965

I'm not sure what procedure you're using on your 240, but setting the timing is pretty much the same between the two.

Depending on one thing and another, I've used ~10 to ~25 degrees BTDC, vacuum disconnected, on my B-18s. Factors affectin the setting include compression, wear, crud in the combustion chamber, excessive oil consumption, etc., etc.

Use the most advanced timing you can, short of detonation.
