Timing:
Get your crank pulley marked up so you can see the timing marks. as well as the indicator.

Unplug the SpOut connector up by the firewall, little grey square.

Hook up your light, and check the timing. Stock I believe is 10* BTDC. Can bump it up a few degrees if you would like.

Also make sure air pump is in good working order.

Ok, pulled the spout and followed the thread for timing. Did it. When I put the spout back on, it pushed it ahead a little more (almost another 5 clicks), is that ok?! However, it is running even better. And, the air coming out of the exhaust does not feel wet and does not have a gasoline smell. So, I think with all of your help that I am on the right track. My only worry now is that the spout pushed it to about 16 or 18 degrees after I had it set to 10 degrees.

16-18 deg may start a knock in engine. Max I would run is 14-15.

If it's right with the spout out then it's right.

Sean's right on. Spout disconnected, 10 degrees btdc - 14 or 15 btdc and the timing is right. Plug the spout back in and go as long as your not getting pinging. Also, with the timing bumped to 14 or 15, you can open your plug gap up to .050 or so for a little better fuel burn.

I appreciate your help with this. It is running great and the heat is down coming out of the exhaust.
