Glad to see the pic from I@T as that should set everyone straight. [Reply]  [No Email]

In the case of single punch marks, if one gear is marked on the tooth and the mating gear is marked between the teeth then you align single to single. With double marks that are marked one on each tooth itself then the single mark on other gear would go between them. [Reply]  [No Email]

Single NEVER goes between the two. Mite be so on another engine but not on those models. Iv done too many of them and the I@T manual even shows them single on single and double on double.

If your mag is good it will fire on the first turn providing the carb is also up to snuff. Ive done a bunch of them and they will start on the first rev. [Reply]  [No Email]

Mesh the double punch mark on the cam gear with the double punch mark on the distrubutor or mag-governor drive gear. Hal [Reply]  [No Email]

Someone correct me if this is wrong. When I put them together, I also look at where the cam lobes are when #1 piston is at TDC. [Reply]  [No Email]

Even being off a tooth can make for hard starts. Had a hand cranker started bad and that was the problem after taking off the front cover. [Reply]  [No Email]
