All,
Poking around this site and another. I heard mention of a rotor clip. My tractor does not have that ('50 8N with side mount). The rotor has always been sloppy on the dist shaft. Could the lack of the rotor clip be the cause of the slop? Could the resulting slop be the cause of my timing jumping around when viewed with a timing light? Seems likely.
Next question. A few years ago (last time I set timing with light), I distinctly remember seeing timing marks with my light through the peep hole. However, I can't seem to find them this time. I found a single mark in the fly wheel and painted white to make stand out. Is there another set of marks with some measure of degrees BTDC? You would think you would need that. If so, then my "single" mark is the wrong thing.
Thanks in advance
