It's impossible to answer a question without data. I assume you mean initial (at idle) timing. Where is it set now? Where do you intend to set it?
Example: It's set at 16 degrees BTDC, I intend to advance (or retard) it 2 degrees.

If you were advancing your timing you would be before top dead center.

back on topic:
we need some stats on your engine, such as cam, carb, compression, what type of ignition you have, all those sorts of things... cause advancing will only help under certain circumstances.... other times it will actually crap out your performance...

Uhhhh . . . this guy hasn't been around since July, so answering his questions probably isn't going to help him much.Originally posted by thesals
