[AT] timing a cub

[Lew Best]

Thanks George

This engine is in a Yale forklift actually; it is electric start but may
have been converted from magneto; I really don't know.  Just has a real
"flat spot" trying to accelerate; want to be sure timing is right before
messing with the carburetor.  Centrifugal advance seems to be working
ok; I took the distributor out & apart for a good cleaning; will go from
there.

Static time it exactly on TDC.  The centrifugal advance will take it
from
there.  Obviously, since you have only one timing notch your engine was
built with a magneto but you can time a distributor the same way if your
engine has been converted.  The other mark if present is used with a
light
but the light isn't really necessary.
