In addition to "wga's" advise...I have one of those inexpensive electronic tachometers that I think I got off of e-bay and placed a piece of the reflective tape that came with the unit right where that dot is on the pulley. It is real easy to see. Now I can set the timing and idle speed at the same time. That's all theory of course because I believe that in reality I do most of it by listening to how it sounds... except as I get older my hearing is declining, at least that is what my wife keeps telling me. Poor folks, poor ways.
