Can you believe points cost $25 now? What a joke.

Waiting for them to come in to local FLAPS, then I will do the 'static' timing that Deve suggests. It looks like TDC is accurate on the flywheel, based on my previous pic, so that would make the ball 5 degrees advanced ('5' is labelled on flywheel beside it. I supposed I will shoot for that for now and then adjust the carb. I don't really get the 'advanced until it pings under load and then retard until it doesn't'. I was trying to get 'optimal', but I will settle for 'spec'
