Timing

[firekdp]

Agreed, that timing must be checked with a strobe after getting a rough setting with the pick-up marks, but if the marks are miles away then you, more than likely, have a problem and strobing is going to be a waste of time.

I don't know how I'm going to get round this.

What flywheel is it? And how was it set up? I take it you have the head off and the dial gauge attached by the bracket?

[Bilko]

Indian flywheel machined down.

BGM Stator

Looking at the keyway in the boss (from the fin side) is it clockwise or anticlockwise of the nearset rivet?

[Bilko]

Clockwise

[firekdp]

Well according to Sticky's it's the right boss.

[Bilko]

Then I must be doing something wrong. f@@k knows what though!

Thanks for the help by the way.

[firekdp]

How have you mounted the dial gauge? And excactly how far away from each other are the pick-up/flywheel marks?

[Bilko]

I'd say the marks are about 1 1/2 inches out at a guess
