ignition timing on a xflow with bestek electronic kit

[mazie]

I am having trouble getting the timing set correctly on my x-flow with this new electronic ignition,
its non-vac distributor type, the engine is 1740cc, kent kca2a cam, single dellorto 45 ,

I cant find out what advance curve it has, so has set it up at 12 degress TDC, can anyone help?

Have you tried using a timing light to check the timing.

You will need a timing light with a Tach Advance so that at every 1000RPM increment you could check what timing advance you have on the engine. This will help you find out if you have any problems and also what the full advance of your engine is at max revs

Try around 30 degrees at 4k RPM dont bother with static,better still get it on the Dyno(much safer bet);)
