Re: MARINE DOCTOR
The 0 us used to set the flywheel to match TDC with the pointer when installing the belt and Distributor.<br /><br />The 36 is what the is the reference mark to set the timing.<br /><br />Timing is done static, not running the engine.<br /><br />Hook up a spark plug grounding lead into #1 sparkie boot and set it to be 1/2 in from the block.<br /><br />Turn the flywheel so that the 36 aligns with the -4 this will set it to 32 deg...but we want 30 so you will have to go a little further.<br /><br />Advance the throttle to WOT in gear.<br /><br />Turn the ign to ON.<br /><br />The set screw to move the dist is right below the flywheel. You will need a 7/16 and a flathead screw driver. Turn this until you get a snap or a constant spark. You will know what I mean when it happens.<br /><br />TMD
