Could someone please explain timing for me. I have heard some people talking about how they have taken theirs up to 12 or 14 from 10 but i dont know what any of that means, please specify.

Thanks for any help.

Is it very hard to change the timing?

How do you do it?

Thanks again for any help

Actually, timing is when the ignition/spark plug fires in relation to the piston position in it's stroke. 10* means that the spark plug fires 10* after the piston has reached top dead center and has started back down. I'm not totally sure how they measure the degree increments in relation to the piston, but I think it's by the crankshaft.
