I only have an advance timing gun

Yeah thats what you want, your timing light has a dial or buttons to set advance?

CRAIG · Post by **CRAIG** » Fri Jul 10, 15 4:11 pm

Just a dial starting at 0

You have a light with a dial similar to this?

Set the dial to 15 that will give you 15 degrees advance when you time the engine with the timing mark on the balancer at TDC mark on the timing cover.[/img]

Would that not make it 15 after tdc or am i being thick. Lol

No, by dialling the 15 degrees on the timing light advances the timing, try it, set your timing to TDC and 0 on the light, your mark on the damper is stationery at the TDC mark then dial in 15 degrees you will see the line on the damper move in the advance direction, the timing light does this by changing the phase of the strobe, so now you turn the DIZZY until the timing mark comes back on zero, you have advanced the timing 15 degrees.

Obviously as Scooby said take the vacuum pipe off the carb and plug it whilst setting the timing.

Total advance is another thing that you will need to set at some point but see how you go with this first.

Make sure you remove the flag off the roof. Don't want to upset anyone.
