So I decided to covert my 640 to EI Mainly I just want the first hand experience as to if its any good or not. We've got 5 tractors, all had points, and with the constant debate on EI that comes up here, I just want to experiment for myself.
so got it all in and did a tune up on it at the same time- plugs, wire, cap, rotor. Coil was new when I bought it.
anyway, now I need to set the timing, I know its off as it takes too long to start now.
I tried to just throw a timing light on it, but I couldn't see anything.
I'm guessing my plan of attack will be what I consider the "standard" way:
turn the motor over by hand till I can see the timing marks, use some white paint to mark the flywheel and then time it with my light
just wanted to see if there were any tricks I might not know about?
