I am planning on buying an autococker. I don't know anything about them though. I have heard several people say that they are hard to time. I watched a video about how to time them and the only thing I don't understand is the actuation part of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am also unsure as to where to get one. If the place I'm thinking of has not sold it yet I can get one for $100. I am also interested in what kind of oil/lubrication to use, paint to use, and what kind of upgrades to get for it if it does not have upgrades. Thank you in advance for replying.
