Yea, 8-10 would be a good place to start. You have a
good bit of leeway...If you want max power, roll it back
to about 6 btdc or so, and see if it pings...It might...Then
just roll up a bit at a time, until it quits pinging. That would
be the best setting for the gas you are using.
Overall, I've found 8 btdc to be a good average setting for my
carbed 300 and 240. But if it pings, roll up to about 10. MK

Right on NM5K, set it by ear, the only way to time one.
