Re: timing old classic fifty

As my s/n is close to yours (OB205602), and my idle speed in gear is VERY high, how do our s/n's correlate to the s/n groupings in the service manual chart shown? I don't quite follow the correlation between my engine and what's shown in the manual. i.e., using that chart in this thread, what should the throttle primary pickup timing be for my engine? Is OB205602 after 5531630?

Thanks!

Never mind, thanks. I found this thread via a google search on the topic - not through the website. Knowing it should be a very quick and easy answer, but not having anyone take a second to respond to it, I found the answer myself late last night, after finding the sticky thread in this forum. Thanks anyway.
