BTW XtechX,
Don't do like I did and try to set timing with engine @ 850rpm, mechanical advance is already starting to kick in!
Correct. Even if it idles like a damn single cylinder hit or miss engine at 400 rpm, all that you need is that it continues to run. If the rpms are over about 650 you really need to slow it down to set the timeing....Idle rpm is set first by pulling in the right lean best idle mixture and last by adjusting the idle speed screw...but ya gotta do everything else first.
