I am from romania and i need help with my88" pandemonium engine . i have already bought a seethru timing plug and a timing light and i need to know the rpm needed for maximum advance mark which in my case is a single dot before TDC. I hope someone will help me with this. Thanks

My motor has a mallory billet distribuitor.

Timing should be at 1300 to 1500 rpm.

Buna Ziua,

I usually set timing in the hole to where it's lined up and then I tune the carb from there. I get it to where it starts first shot and when I snap the throttle open it doesn't hesitate or cough. Idle lands around the 1200 mark for me...not all bikes are the same obviously.
