Default Re: Timing problems

If you can't find the timing mark, as said before, you're sure that you're on #1 [right front] and timing pointer on left side. If all that is OK, then possibly the balancer has slipped. They are two pieces and the rubber deteriates and the outer ring moves.

Also, you can pull #1 spark plug out, pull the coil wire and turn the engine by hand, 15/16" socket on crank end, till it is up on TDC. You can find this by putting your thumb over the spark plug hole and listen for the "whoosh" as the piston comes up on TDC. The timing marks should like up then.

Hope that helps
