    Having trouble setting the timing on my 77 gs550

    So i have read the manual to set the timing. I just don't get it. I think i set the gaps correctly, I used a feeler gauge and set to .014. Then I go to set the timing with a continuos light and can't get the light to turn off. When i rotate the breaker plate nothing happens. I was trying to use a turn signal I had laying around. Do i need a better light or something?

    I have provided a photo (i don't know why it rotated the photo it was in the correct orentation before i uploaded it) of what of what i think is the correct align meant with the "f" mark. Also where should i be attaching the light to the plate?

    I put everything back together and now on idle I'm getting backfires through the exhaust, I was not getting back firing before.

    thanks
