Timing

So before I tore it down I went through the process of setting the timing. It was interesting. The whole process can be seen HERE But basically you have to find Top Dead Center (TDC)(where the piston stops to return down) You can stick something into the spark plug hole to see where the piston goes and comes back and you can mark the degrees it travels then find the midpoint and that is TDC. Each size top end has a degree Before TDC measurement (my polini 130 is 16 Degrees BTDC) where you have to turn your stator plate back. I used a timing strobe gun to check the measurement and then adjust. Good times.
