new to aircooled and buggies in general....so... what is the a good starting point for setting the timing on my 1915? i found a video that has a nice little simple way to do it without a strobe but honestly dont know if its even worth my time what do u think? figure if it is it would be easy with the degree pulley that is on there...

32 degrees at 3500 RPM. Set it there and forget it.
