Default How to set timing?

Just finished a bobber using a 2000 Buell/Sportster motor.&nbsp\\; Bike had EFI which was replaced with a 42mm Mikuni carb and the ignition was replaced with an ultima electronic ignition.&nbsp\\; Bike starts fine but wont idle without the choke being out but I think that is a carb issue???.&nbsp\\; I am not running a VOES.&nbsp\\; Ultima says set timing to 35 degress BTDC and not 20 degrees.&nbsp\\; Do I need a timing light to set the timing and what should it be set to and how?&nbsp\\; Can it be set by ear?&nbsp\\; Any help appreciated.
&nbsp\\;
