I have a question on timing the mag on a Regular.
When you set the timing to the flywheel mark,
where should you have the advance lever set-fully
retarded, fully advanced or somewhere in between?
the manual says to line up the marks on the breaker housing cover, but I cant see any marks on
any of the mags I have. I have it set now with the lever fully retarded, impulse pawl disengaged,
flywheel mark centered in the inspection hole as the points are just starting to open. I think it is retarded too much with the impulse working because
it won't start unless I spin the crank fast. It
feels like it fires past full compression. I don't like having to spin the crank to start it.
I believe that if it is set correctly it should
start by just pulling up on the crank. Can someone
give me a hard and fast procedure or am I stuck
with trial and error? I am a little afraid of advancing it too far and having it kick back. My F-12 starts real well,
but I had to do it by trial and error.
