I have had an issue for the past couple weeks with my 81' not getting any top end. I've been through the carbs, up and down with jet sizes and keep getting the same result. I talked to a couple "old timers" and both told me to hook up a timing light and see where it's at. Well I got the light today, printed off some of the service manual and I'm still confused as to how it all works. Anyone have timing for dummies, or a good link showing what I'm looking for and how to check what's going on with my rig? I'm running a stock electronic ignition.
