IGNITION TIMING

Start the engine and warm it up until the water temperature indicator points to the middle of the gauge.
Operate the engine at 2000 rpm for 2 minutes under no load.
Disconnect the throttle sensor connector.
Idle engine and check timing. Timing should be 10°±2°BTDC. If not proceed to step 5.
Idle engine and adjust the ignition timing to 10°±2°BTDC by turning the distributor after loosening the securing bolt.
Turn the engine off.
Reconnect the throttle sensor connector.

mws919 thank you very much. I

mws919 thank you very much. I get off work in about an hour & I will give that a try when I get home. I had an issue with the engine smoking & burning excessive amounts of oil, fortuneatley it was only the crankcase breather gasket under the valve cover allowing oil to be scavenged under the baffle & into the PVC line right into the intake. Have a good day & thanks for the help and God bless!

good luck and let me know.
