what is 3/4 spark? it obviously has to timed to run as you said it was running. its just to get it timed correctly now. get number one cyl. on compression at TDC WITH IT ALIGHNED to the correct marks. pull off dist cap, loosen dist, turn on key, rotate distributor a bit in the direction the rotor turns, then go opposite direction till the points spark on the opening of them , tighten dist down and your done. you can do the same thing with a piece of paper between the points with the key off. once you can pull the paper out when turning dist in oppositte direction your done. i do it this way all the time , plus have checked my work with a timing light and its dead on the money. nothing hard and you dont need a timing light to set static timing. then you adjust the carb once timing is set, not before. its a hand in hand thing. also make sure the points are gapped correctly first. ooh dam magneto it is u say... well just as easy turn the engine till you hear the mag snap then look where the timing marks are. the move mag accordingly . example,.. if the mag is tripping retarded to marks just advance the mag a bit at a time and keep check where it snaps till you get it where you want. tryed to keep it simple. mag is .013 setting on points. dist is .020
