Timing a Model B

I still don't understand all I need to know about timing the Model B. There are two holes in the torque tube through which you can see the flywheel - on the left side between the implement mounting holes and the one on the bottom. I assume that it is the one on the side of the torque tube through which I aim the timing light.

If that is so, where is the ignition timing mark located on the Model B? Where is the indexing pointer? Do I time the engine so that the line is in the middle of the hole or where? What is the accepted timing setting for the Model B?

I have the service manual, but I can't find this information in that manual. Might it be in the I&T manual?

Richard,
The left side hole in the torque tube is the correct location. There is no pointer as on a car. I just did mine a week ago and adjusted the mag. until the mark (line) on the flywheel was centered in the inspection hole as the timing light flashed. Before you start, make sure your magnito is "rough set" correctly and the plug wires are correct according to the fireing order. My mag was 90 deg. off and someone had changed the plug wires accordingly to make it run. I think the correct fireing order is 1243, but I don't have my book here. The only instructions I have seen were in the owners manual, and they were only good for the rough setting. Remove the plugs, put your finger over plug hole #1 and hand crank the eng. slowly. When you feel pressure at #1 you are on the compression stroke. Turn the crank until the timing mark is in the inspection hole, then make sure the rotor is aligned with the corresponding wire that goes to cyl. #1. Good Luck!!!!
Bill
