I want to have ago at setting the timing. I don't think it's right on my vespa T5 and I want to check if my p200e. Witch ways can I do it. With the strobe and without it. There's no battery on both of mine so what strobe do I need. If I wasn't to use the strobe what other ways can I do it. And what size piston stopper do I need.

Get a self-powered portable timing light (amazon, eBay). You also need an M14 stopper…

Yes, but you are going to need 12 volts. Any automotive/motorcycle battery should work.
