And follow with this: Edited November 16, 2022 by Jeff-C175 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 26,573 #5 Posted November 16, 2022 Both video's are excellent. I prefer to use the method from the second video known as "static timing". This method has helped me turn "pull your tail off" engines into "one pull wonders". 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,775 #6 Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) The second video is great, many people don't know that the ignition points also set the ignition timing. The keyway on your crankshaft will be at the top when the engine is at TDC. Edited November 17, 2022 by 953 nut 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
