loosen the clamp on the dizzy and twist it clockwise to retard, or anti clockwise to advance.  if you dont have a light then advance it till it pinks then back it off a bit, or if you have got one there's a diamond on the flywheel, under the little flappy cover thing on the gearbox..

Take it easy ; )
