Found lots of confliction info depending on the model of ignition but 1.45-1.55mm BTDC seemed to be common

Proper 500cc engine timing depends on the ignition system you have:

- Standard MX ignition (Motoplat 9600 176-1): 2.2 mm BTDC
- SEM K10: 2.2 mm BTDC
- SEM K11: 1.5 mm BTDC

I forgot to mention. When setting the timing BTDC, I would suggest you use one micrometer for proper setting. If you are just a few tenths of millimeters out of the recommended timing, it will make a difference.
