Title: XBR Flywheel markings, anyone know them well?
Post by: guest18 on March 21, 2010, 10:02:58 PM
Possibly a dumb sounding question but anyone who has tried to peer through the tiny little inspection port to see the flywheel markings will know where I'm coming from...  ::)
Anyone know what is actually scribed on the side of the flywheel as opposed to what the manual claims?

The manual says TDC is marked by a line and a "T", all I can see at what I reckon is tdc is a line with a couple of small punch mark like indentations at it's base, next along comes the line and "F" mark, then I think two more timing lines (hard to tell as the motor tends to kick over then...
Anyone else have flywheels with no "T" or have I got it horribly wrong....?!

Looking directly at the flywheel it looks like this:

|     |                 |F   |T


but it curves round  ;D

The top of the T may not be that easy to see, on one of mine it doesn't look to be as well punched as the rest of the lettering.
