Status: offline Actually, timing is when the ignition/spark plug fires in relation to the piston position in it's stroke. 10* means that the spark plug fires 10* after the piston has reached top dead center and has started back down. I'm not totally sure how they measure the degree increments in relation to the piston, but I think it's by the crankshaft.
