Default Ignition Timing

Fixed a leak in the manifold and putting the tank back in place, re-syncing the ignition timing with the idle as per the service manual (clymer).

It seems to be misfiring, almost like the timing is off. I thought I would pass it by you "experts" before I remove the tank again and do the resistance test on the ignition coil. I suppose the mundane tests such as spark plug and spark plug wires are needed as well.

Any other ideas what it could be?
