How is the ignition timing of a car determined?

Ignition timing is dependent upon the rest of the ignition system being set up properly. Accurate timing cannot be achieved unless you have sufficient compression, correct valve clearance, correct ignition point gap, correct spark plug gaps and the engine is at normal operating temperature.

When does the spark plug fire on a moped?

The spark plug fires when the points open. Since the point of ignition timing is to have the spark plug firing at the correct time/point in the cycle, figuring out when the points are supposed to open is important.
