TIMING ADJUSTMENTS
Rotate the flywheel clockwise to 30° ATDC.
Install Piston Stop Tool, P/N 342679, into the
spark plug hole of the number 1 cylinder.
Rotate flywheel in a counterclockwise direction
until the number 1 piston contacts the tool. Keep
pressure on the flywheel to position the piston
firmly against the tool. Mark the flywheel directly
across from the pointer. Label this mark “A.”
Rotate the flywheel in a clockwise direction until
the piston contacts the tool. Mark the flywheel
directly across from the pointer. Label this mark
“B.” Rotate flywheel counterclockwise slightly to
release tool and remove it from spark plug hole.
Use the cast in markers on the flywheel to calcu-
late the exact center between marks “A” and “B.”
Mark and label the center point “C.” If mark “C”
and the cast-in TDC boss on flywheel are in align-
ment, the timing pointer is in the correct location.
If the pointer alignment is NOT correct, rotate the
flywheel clockwise to align the mark “C” with the
pointer. Hold the flywheel in this position. Loosen
the pointer retaining screw and adjust the pointer
location to align with the cast-in TDC boss on the
flywheel. Tighten retaining screw.
Repeat the entire adjustment process to make
sure pointer is aligned correctly.
Install spark plugs. Refer to Spark Plug Indexing
on p. 160.
