Take the spark plug(s) out and bring the top of a piston all the way up to Top Dead Center (TDC) using a pencil, eraser inwards to feel the piston top come up to its maximum travel. The timing chain needs to be aligned to the triangle mark indicator to match the piston position. Then adjust the timing advance according to the mfr's specs.
