emptypond wrote: It's firing, so I know this is just a timing issue now. I rotate the crank, and it fires when I have the test light setup. I have it static timed to the "F" mark, but I don't think that's right... I've got the dyna s ignition an dyna coils (3 ohm). It says to static time to 1/2" of the "F" mark not sure exactly where I should be timing it to... Any suggestions? Thanks!
The timing marks are shown differently among the various advancers.
Be certain of properly identifying the "F mark."
It's the hash mark, which may not exactly coincide with the letter F.
Here are some examples:

Perhaps the cam timing is off a tooth?

Another possibility could be fuel starvation.

Use a timing light to verify the spark on 1-4 happens when 1-4 mark is at "F"
