static set, timing Options

[toon1]

I set the timing staticly by using the timing mark on the fan(it's red on mine) not the zero. alighned it with the notch in the fan housing and then turned the dist to alighn the rotor with the mark on the top of the dist. case.

Will this get me close?

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) esp. with carbs, when the engine gets warm, the revs will go higher and higher... mine sounds rough when at a cold idle, but warm idle is nice, around 900-1000, the ear method alone can F you if you are not careful...
