Hi Jon
That's right. I set it up like this so I could experiment whilst driving, although setting the static timing with the lever fully advanced does of course prevent anybody over advancing the timing inadvertently. I don't think it really matters provided you are the only driver and you know what you've done. It seems logical to me that if you have a control lever it should bracket the normal range, i.e. never be used at fully on or fully off.
