Default Retart Stud in Magneto
Is this stud marked Retard the stud where a SlickStart or other retard assisting electrical connection is made? The Slickstart manual is very vague.

After reading the manual, my understanding is pin 1 on the SlickStart module gets wired to the P-lead terminal on the mag and Pin 3 of the module gets wired to the retard terminal on the mag shown in your photo.
