what are some telltale signs your timing needs reset or you have a timing problem, I have a 91 heritage with an evo and I think I may have timing issues...thanks manbeast

Lack of power (retarded) or pinging (advanced too much)

would backfiring be a cause of the timing being off?

Backfiring could be caused by the timing being off but it shouldnt go off unless you have been doing something in that area that would cause it to go off
