Default Re: Timing problems

Just take some white paint (I use my wife's "Liquid Paper"- and get in trouble for it too) to make a thin mark on the balancer where you want your initial timing to be (eg. 10 deg. BTDC). That will let you see it bright and clear. Also put a dab on the pointer as well. That makes it easy to see.

You also may have one of those lights that runs completely off of induction from the spark plug wire. Those emit a very weak light beam. If you do have that kind, do yourself a favor and get a good one powered from the car battery for a powerful light beam.
