Do you have to pass emissions?

Isn't this one that should be set at 0? because the computer controls it from a "known" starting point.

No computer or feedback carb on the C-30. (C-10, yes. C-30 also no cats and leaded fuel legal, least on mine)

JBD, 4* at 700 rpm for auto and manual, is what's posted on my aircleaner. IIRC, I'm actually between 12-14*

Set it about 12* then. When you go to emissions retard it then
