The stock ignition timing is between 14 to 16 degrees BTDC. The best timing is at 18 degrees BTDC (depending on your set-up of course). To check it yourseft you would need a timing light. I know there is a website explaining how to do it but can't get my finger on it.

well... for a stock 55hp shot zex kit, stock setting should be ok. I have to check my plugs for black specs or signs of detonation, i just want to double check before i blow anything

For a 55 shot, try 12 or 13 degrees. Maybe even 10 or 11 if you live in a hot and humid climate.
