Hello All,
I recently took my engine apart to find the reason for my poor WOT. I didn't mark the flywheel before taking it off and now i'm a bit confused on how to reinstall it. I see the two marks to line up the flywheel and the pulley gear on the distributor. My manual says to set it 38 degrees BTDC. Without a timing tool, is there a way to do this accurately? Should I start the motor at TDC and adjust one of the set screws? The 3 screws I have are (Spark advance screw, throttle adjustment screw, and idle adjustment screw).
