changed my Tbelt and I'm having trouble getting my timing right so I must be missing something that I have not identified.
I've read through many threads on setting static timing but i'm not having any luck. this is a bone stock engine.
I set the motor at TDC before I changed the belt and made my own secondary marks independent of the factory markings. When I changed the Tbelt the only thing that moved out of time from when I took the old one off was the aux shaft pulley. I know for fact the cam timing hasn't changed in relation to the crank timing everything lines up in that regard
in getting good tension on the belt across crank-aux-cam side of the route path I knew I was throwing the ignition timing out by quite a bit.
I've set the motor to TDC on cyl #1 and all my marks line up exactly as before I removed the old Tbelt. I can tell by looking at the dizzy rotor that ignition timing is way out from #1 on the cap, I've tried to eyeball and adjust to get it in the ball park, but she won't fire only intermittently sputters a bit.
Usually on other engines I can get it close and dial it in when I get it to run.
I guess my short question is the dizzy rotor should be contacting #1 on the cap at TDC with the flywheel mark at 0 and not #4?
Thanks,
