Eyeballing alignment of the rotor to the tick mark on the dizzy body seems so imprecise...for adjusting valves. Is there a method of locating TDC for each cyl PRECISELY?
1. I thought about making some kind of rotor replacement device with a pointer that could extend down close to the tick mark, but thats only good for cyl 1. All cylinders needed. 2. I thought about making a special trigger point plug adapter with three long wires, and attaching it to me DVM on the buzzer setting. When the trigger points would make contact, then that would indicate...? I am not sure that the trigger points make contact at TDC, I think it is at some different point in the cycle. Any time proven methods? |

One way to find TDC on # 1 is remove a plug, place finger over hole, turn motor until you start to feel air pressure, then line up the timing mark. My old timer ( he's turning 50 this month (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) ) neighbor showed me that.
