just time it at the basic setting + maybe full advance. it's not THAT
critical.
you can get timing lights with tach, but they cost more.

Subject: Timing
| Have starterd getting over my fears of mechanics and dove into basic mechanics the other eve - condenser, points, valve check, new gen belt. Getting ready to check/adjust the timing on Patience for the 1st time, I have never done this before and need help. I plan on borrowing a light from a friend, and I have seen how to adjust the timing by lossening the bolt and moving the distibutor etc... Question I have is the book calls out for checks at multiple RPM's, how do I know what RPM's I am at without an RPM guage on the bike? Is that part of the timing light kit? Any other tips for timing loops? Thanx much! Keith Ruff 71 Police Ambassador - NJ |
