Robert,
If you are using the later model crank pulley (the heavy cast one
with the rubber insert) the outer half sometimes moves around and
causes your timing mark to not be at top dead center. Make sure the
piston is at top dead center. Then check to see if the marks on the
pulley line up with the pointer at the 0 degree mark. If they do not
make a new mark on the pulley and also a mark on the center of the
pulley, and use the new mark to set your timing. The reason for the two
marks is so that you can tell if the outer ring moves again. If it does
think about getting a new one ($$$$) but cheaper than repairing the
damage done when a heavy pulley lets loose at 5000 rpm. Not a pretty
sight.
Regards,
Peter.
