Re: [DMCForum] Re: Timing?

Okay mate, don't worry it's easy. Get your timing light, and put the 
pickup on no 1 (that's the plug nearest the coil). Use some white paint 
or correction fluid or sumsuch, and whiten the two notches on the 
crankshaft pulley (only one is the one you need, but it's less effort 
just painting them both than faffing about working out which is the 
right one!).

See the timing scale just above and to the right of the crank pulley? 
You don't need to be able to read it, just note the two notches in it. 
THe notch on the right is 0 degrees, the notch on the left is 13 
degrees. You need to set the timing to 13 degrees. There's a single 11mm 
nut locking the dizzy down - it's under the idlespeed motor and usually 
obscured by fuel lines and HT leads. The most difficult part of this 
procedure is undoing and doing up that nut!!! Rotate the dizzy to set 
the timing. Your idle needs to be spot on at 800rpm(ish) and not hunting.

In the time it's taken for me to write this, I could have set the timing 
on an engine, it's that easy.
