The mad needs to be timed a little bit sooner then the coil set up. They got rid of the mags because the coils gave a more reliable spark and you could advance the timing a bit thus giving you more horses. there should two timing marks on the fly whell that are right next to each other.. use the second one for mag and the first one for coil. the two notches will be right next to each other. i like to use a timing light but you dont have to as you can set them by ear. if you are gonna be hand cranking it make sure not to advance it like its a old chevy as you can get your arm broke! Good luck. Oh ya make sure the no 1 piston is on the compression stroke when timing the mag. You can put your thum over the 1 plug hole and when you feel outword pressure thats the compression stoke. then use the second notch of the two right next to each other. If you don't check for compression stroke you could be 180` off. good lick
