You're doing it right now

Oh, have you lined it up on TDC to be sure the chain hasn't jumped?

as long as it is running you need to do the timing first...warm it up , remove the SPOUT connector and then set it. if you do dnot remove the SPOUT b4 changing it, it won't take right.

sears has digital multi-meters on sale right now for $12.50

get one

do the timing and go from there.
