Minispares Ultralight Flywheel Timing Marks

Post by sclemow »

Hi

Can someone clarify what the three timing marks on the minispares ultralight flywheel correspond to?

Is it TDC 5 deg 10deg?

Don't EVER trust timing marks on any flywheels, either factory or after market. They are ALL allover the place.

Put your own marks on by getting the motor to TDC & marking it yourself.

Having said that, timing marks are usually 15,10, 5° etc.

I fitted one and made my own mark on the bottom pulley using a dial gauge on the piston. I found the tdc mark on the flywheel to be very very close. I think, emphasis on think, the flywheel marks are 0, 2, 4, 6 etc..

Thanks, I just wanted to double check and couldn't find it on the MS site.

Cheers
