Classic Mini Survival Guide: Ignition timing. How it works part 1

Want to know how the ignition system works on your classic mini? check out this video. I discuss the combustion process and how the crank and cam and all the components operate together. I also discuss how wear in the individual components will alter timing curves. Part two has been posted here: https://youtu.be/xLg-UPBGI_8 The Classic Mini Survival guide is a series of short videos where I will be breaking down various skills and tasks required to keep your classic mini in top running condition. As I work on minis, I am constantly finding problems with general maintenance items such as spark plugs, valve gaps, ignition timing, etc... I see these as tasks which any owner is capable of doing and yet I do not find them to be happening correctly, if at all. My goal with this series is to educate and inform the Mini community so that we keep more of these cars on the road. The better they run, the more they get used and appreciated by others. If you have a suggestion for a topic, let me know in the comments below each video.
