85 22r strange timing issue

I went to check the timing on my 85 22r with a weber 32/36 today. When I pointed the timing light down at the timing mark it was there for a second, then it was gone for a bit, then it came back. It was a very erratic pattern, there for a few rotations and then gone for a few. the engine runs smooth, so what's up?
