you need to disconnect the ESC (read the thread on timing at the top the page)

there is a tab on the timing chain cover, there is also a mark on the balance. with the timing light hooked to the #1 plug, the light will flash, and iluminate the mark on the balancer. where that marl lines up on the tab when the light flashes is what your initial timing is set to.
