I am having a problem at low RPM’s with my spark, I set the timing but when it idles it looks like the spark goes from normal to 10x as fast and back down….. What the hell is going on?

Make sure your connections are good, and make sure your pick-up C.T. is as far as possible from the other plug wires
Mine:
04 Honda rebel 250(wifes)
04 GSXR 750(bolt on galore)
98 CBR 600F3(filter, pipe, adjustable cam sprokets, dyno tune)
76 KZ900A (LTD gauge pods, crash bars, LTD(style)pipes, dyna coils and ignition,headwork and mild port cleanup by cavanaugh racing, K&N filter pods, heck I dunno.

ok looks like a new timing advancer, or dyna 2000. I have sean a few treads about making a new spring????
but I think it is time to save for the Dyna 2000, with a turbo I heard it works great. Just to nake sure that will replace the timing advancer right?
