i'm trying to set the timing on my aq 125 a...not to sure if the book i have is giving me the proper information...it says 10 deg btdc..when i set it there it seems to run a little rough compared to 20 deg or 25 deg...so i'm hoping the book is wrong...also need to know the dwell setting..my book says 62 deg + 3....does this sound correct ? any help would be appreciated

10? BTDC amd 62? dwell are correct. Get the dwell set BEFORE you set the timing.
