Timing marks

[sonic]

Could somebody let me know which timing mark on the crankshaft pulley should line up with the pointer when using a strobe to set the ignition timing on a 1 litre K11, theres 6 marks on the pulley but no identification on the marks, should it be in the middle of the six marks when number 1 is firing, I cant remember at all its been that long since I've done it.

joelh

if you connect a strobe light to cyl no 1 it will shine on the 15 deg btdc mark on tickover (anything over tickover will be controlled by the ecu)

 

[joelh]
