How do I check the ignition timing on a Ferret? I cannot see the timing mark on the flywheel (I can just about see the teeth). Or is there some trick to viweing the timing mark?
Do you just set up the static timing as best you can (by looking down into cyclinder one, and getting TDC kinda right)?
How do I (or can I) check if the centrifugal weights that advance the timing are working correctly without using a timing lamp?
I also want to check that the synchronising plate has not been moved (the red paint has been broken on the fixing screws), and without seeing the timing marks on the flywheel is getting the piston at TDC close enough for this check?
