The circle on the left? One of the edges in the middle? The far right edge?

hmm

OK, thanks...

That's what I thought. It runs like crap when I time it at the point on the right though, backfires out the tailpipe, seems to run much better when I set timing in the center area..

Your balancer might have starter to separate.
