Subject:Timing marks 2.1
From:Todd Last
Date:Wed, 2 May 2001 09:20:58 -0700

With all this discussion on timing, I went to look at my 2.1 and found
that there is a single notch on the pulley, which I assume is the timing
mark for the motor. However, what I can't figure out is which way the
mark will move (when using a timing light) to be advanced or retarded.
(As I write this I'm thinking I should just rev the motor and the
direction the mark moves will be the advanced direction) But I wanted to
verify this first.

If I wanted to run slightly advanced, is there a way to figure out how
to mark the pulley (degree it) ? Can I just measure degrees off the edge
of the pulley?
