^ yea exactly, it wont do a damn thing for ya if its connected
I can testify to that, LoL. My dumbass did this very thing about a month ago. wasn't paying attention and forgot to remove it... took me awhile to figure out WTF was wrong and why the numbers were all over the place. Thought maybe the timing light was screwed up, LoL.
RE: moving the timing with out the removing the spout connecter??
It will still change timing but you won't know what the hell you changed base timing too. Just pull out the spout and redo it and there won't be any problems.

I think it will adjust but it will just reset itself right?
Up to a certain point, it will compensate for your changes. And you won't have a damned clue what the base actually is because you're looking at numbers in the 20s and 30s that actually fluctuate!
