I played around with the timing on my F-20 for about a week now, On the flywheel I have an "O" then a line and the letter "E" stamped below it. This is the only mark I can find. If I setup the timing according to what the manual says, retarding the spark and then set the mag so the points are just opening, it comes out so the engine is firing before TDC when the spark is supposed to be retarded. I did make sure the #1 cylinder was on TDC and I made sure the mag was at terminal #1. Has anybody else seen this? So, can anyone that has an F-20 tell me this: with the mag retarded, do the points "just open" right at TDC or slightly after? The engine does run, but I still don't think the timing is where it should be.
