[Shotimes] Checking timing

[Steve Weinrich]

A few additions to what Justin said.

You can also hook the pickup to the #5 plug wire.  It fires at the same time
as #1 and is a lot esier to reach.

The crank pully has either two or three marks on it.  We want the white one
at 10 degree BTDC under the conditions that Justin indicated.

> You check the timing with a timing light, not a multi meter. It gets
hooked to the battery and the #1 spark plug wire. The crank pulley has a
mark on it, and that mark shows up behind the molded-in degree scale on the
timing belt cover (with the engine idling and the SPOUT disconnected).
