How do I set up the timing of a pony motor on a D2 Cat? It has a Wico XH magnito with the rotor having different position depending on where the gear is set. It has a window in the distributor cap for timing. Is there a timing mark on the crankshaft somewhere? Should the mag snap over like on my John Deeres? Have any articles been written on this subject?

I could use a good pony motor and wico magneto. I was looking for a head gasket for the diesel but had no luck finding one so I put it back together with the old one. thanks for the response

Thats funny Iam working on the same thing. I think Iam going to crank it assumming that number 1 cylinder is on the right side with a compression gage determine when it is on the compression stroke, check where the timing mark is in the window on the mag and because we know the rotor is set correctly to the points I willpull the mag and rotate it as necessary to match the compression stroke.

Jdabg/JohnLee:
Timing the starting engine is as follows. To do this, rotate the flywheel until No.1 cylinder (located nearer the flywheel) is on the compression stroke an the timing mark on the magneto distributor gear lines up with the mark on the magneto housing. Remove the plug and check that the camshaft gear and magneto drive gear timing marks are aligned. Then check that the MAG mark on the flywheel is aligned with the mark on the bearing flange. If these timing gear marks are lined up. The engine is properly timed. Note: Be sure the timing marks on the crankshaft gear also lines up with the timing mark on the end of the crankshaft. Due to the two keys which prevent the crankshaft gear from rotating on the crankshaft, it is possible to install the crankshaft gear 180° out-of-time with the crankshaft and flywheel.

I hope this is of some help.
