<div class="yiv3946618169PlainText">After a drying delay (one day) due to cloud cover that was completely unforecasted, I got to rake today. My new (to me anyways) rake that I bought last year and the 430 V did great.<br>
<br>
The timing I did was extremely helpful. Not only was power and engine speed noticeably smoother, I found another benefit: Last year I noticed my nostrils would sting just a bit from the exhaust. Kept thinking I need to reroute the exhaust. Actually it was
a symptom of my timing being off a hair. No exhaust sting in the nostrils today.<br>
<br>
It was a good day.<br>
