I understand setting the timing dynamically with a strobe light but what is the initial static setting BTDC.

17 deg BTDC @ 6000 RPM is the only info I have recorded..
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

The reason I'm asking is that I'm installing an aftermarket ignition so I need to at least set it up with an initial static setting. Any suggestions what that might be?
