Originally posted by Tired2 I'm not sure exactly how idle advance is supposed to work, but it does not have the effect I'd imagine. As load goes up, I advance, but the advance does not seem to increase from normal even though the conditions should be met. Maybe I missed a condition on mine.

Seems like you may be confused on what 'idle advance' does..its not supposed to change your timing as load increases. It merely just fixates to a specific degree of timing while only in idle..when you give it gas you timing will switch back to the set timing in your spark table. So idle advance deactivates when you press the throttle
