like most old cars. run till hot set idle to spec. connect timing light to 12v, ground and clamp to front #1 spark plug. then at the diagnostic connector (near right hand HLight) short test pin to ground. ( this tells ECU to freeze advance rules). pin 4 to 5 out of 6 pins total. then check timing by flashing the strobe to the front of damper pully and marks. usually some where between 4-6 degrees.at 750-850 rpm. It is usually stated on the EPA sticker under hood. baring that go to suzuki.forum and check there or get a haynes or chilton manual. good day

You can set the camshaft timing, on your Suzuki 450, by manually turning the engine to the number one spot. Adjust the camshaft valves with the adjustment screw.
Timing can not be adjusted, is done by the PCM.

To set the timing on a 1994 GMC Suburban you need to warm up the engine while the car is either in park or neutral. Next, you adjust the distributor until the timing is set to where you want it.
The timing is electronic controlled. You MUST have an OBDII engine scanner to set the timing to specs. Timing light will not work.
no it wont it is way to small weve tried it and its usless but the tires are good
With the timing set at 10 degrees BTDC it is 800 RPM.
There are a few ways to set the timing on a 1994 Suburban 1500. Disconnect the connector firewall to loosen the distributor turning just a bit clockwise.
