179.99999°. Any more and you will be going in the opposite direction.

 

For best performance advance timing until engine begins to run backwards then back it off a couple of degrees.

That reminds me of a time I had gotten done replacing the case of a Yamaha IT175 and upon first start up it ran in reverse. My first thought was that I put the tranny together backwards, but it later became obvious that I had misswired the lighting and ignition coils such that they were swapped. Hah!
