Default 42wla ignition timing

Can anyone give me a basic guide to setting up the timing on my wla, have just ordered an electronic ignition system from 45 parts depot, and seems straightforward to fit, but i know i have issues with the timing. Not really sure about the advance/retard position from the l/h/s grip ? where should this be positioned when setting up the timing ?

Thanks in advance, Paul.

pull plug on side of motor find the line on crank and center in hole then make sure your points are set to just opening w/ distributor turned in towards engine[full counter clockwise] tighten everything and it will be set properly.
