IGNITION TIMING CHART
The following chart is an example for ignition at BTDC 10°.
CONTROL MODE
WHEN CRANKING:
The ignition timing is fixed at BTDC 5° (STBD bank) or BTDC 0° (PORT bank) until the engine starts.
WHEN IDLING/TROLLING:
The ignition timing is controlled within the range of BTDC 0° ± 5° to provide stable engine operation at the
specified idling/trolling speed.
WHEN RUNNING (NORMAL OPERATION):
The ignition timing ranges between BTDC 0° – 26° (DF200), BTDC 0° – 25° (DF225) or BTDC 0° – 26°
(DF250), depending on current engine operating conditions.
