I need to amend that statement. It does not drop all the way to base. I do not recall exactly where it drops to (looking at it last year), but it is above base, as when you disconnect the SPOUT the timing drops to base, which drops the idle some more. From memory when you drop the throttle and as the engine is slowing to an idle, the timing is up in the high 20 something and just before reaching idle, the timing suddenly and sharply drops bellow 20. I'm thinking somewhere around 15 or 16. When it makes that drop it goes dead steady and does not move regardles of what else goes on, until you move the throttle. As soon as you bump the throttle, the timing jumps up into the 20's.
