One other thing, through the various readings I had there was a recurrent information stating that "timing should be fully retarded" how can I verify the position and how to achieve same?
The 85 and 60 use the same sensor and ignition. There is mixed info regarding timing on the 60. Some of the early ones exhibited excessive vibration with normal timing and the vibration was reduced a bit by retarding the timing a bit. The engines ran fine at either setting. You can retard the timing by moving the sensor farther to the right (CCW) as viewed from the front of the engine. Just move the sensor within the confines of the adjustment slots and usually the movement allowed is very small.
