how do you time 1985 electronic spark??

npwade

Have a late 1985 columbia parcar,,had a new piston put in it ..Now even to make it run you have to have the choke out some. It will not rev up much at all,also will not move in reverse,There is no points to set as far as I can tell there is no way to time it!!! There is no timing marks on the fan or fan housing..Any help is much appreciated..This is driving me crazy.As far as i can tell it is electronic.thanks in advance for any help

'86 to '95 carts can be statically timed by using the following procedure:


1) Remove the spark plug from cylinder head.
2) Position plug on top of air shroud so base contacts air shroud bolt.
3) Attach spark plug wire to plug.
4) Attach a jumper wire between the battery (+)positive terminal and the coil's (+)positive terminal.
5) Move ignition module clockwise the full extent of the slotted holes,and then counter-clockwise until a spark occurs at the plug.
6) Lock down retaining screws.

'86 to '95 carts can also be timed by using a strobe timing light:


1) Run engine and shine light on timing marks.
2) Stop engine and move module to align marks.
3) Lock down retaining screws and recheck timing.

Not to hijack this thread but what is the best way to time an 85 that has the points conversion? Just did a friend's cart and it runs but I want to dial in the timing closer. I can't seem to find the timing marks. Any ideas would be appreciated.
