Default please help with my first 3m and big gasser

Hi Guys
I am new to the world of over 2m planes, and would apreceate anyone who could answer me some questions

Are Kroma engines any good ? 180cc twin
How do I get the sensor for the timing in exactly the right spot (I have used mvvs but they are fixed , where as on da, 3w, zdz.. they can move about half an inch each way )
Why does everyone sell engines with a spare carb? do these deterioirate ?
Also, I know 19kg is on the heavy side of the scale for a 3m, but is this exesive to fly well? ( Extra 330s )

Many thanks guys
Regards
Martin

19kg is not so bad that 42/43lbs - the kroma has had only good reports and will easily pull 40+ lbs - the timing, you go by manufacturer spec - yes carbs do deteriorate.
