| [title] Timing check | |
| [* black] Fit a new spark plug | |
| [* black] Start her up and go for a ride! | |
| [* black] All being well, the engine should pull cleanly and run well... If it feels fine, give it a good thrashing ;-) | |
| [* icon_note] If it kicks back or pinks, it's too advanced. If it pops & bangs on the overrun and lacks power, it's retarded. | |
| - | [* black] After your ride, pull the spark plug and look carefully at the earth electrode. You're looking for the heat "telltale" mark to be close to the bend. |

| + | [* black] After your ride, pull the spark plug and look carefully at the earth electrode. You're looking for the heat "telltale" mark to be close to the bend. Closer to the plug body = too advanced. Closer to the tip = too retarded. |
| + | [* black] You now have a spare Wipac points plate and advance/retard mechanism. These are almost impossible to find second-hand. Hopefully you won't need them again! |
