sorry for the delay, work gets in the way again
the gas is new. it is the second tank from diff stations.
I understand how to check the timing with the strobe.
yes it is the vac opperated spark advance switch that I am looking for and as I stated before the manual does not say where it is. don't mean to sound like a complete ya hoo but my wrenching has been on trucks and met bikes and sleds

my wonderfull wife and our friends bought and rode it home to surprise me with it.its my dream bike for as long as I can remember so I didn't really notice it rightaway. it seems to have gotten more noticable now
