Title: How often do you check TDC? Post by sandmanred on 10/27/17 at 07:24:30 There's a port on the front of the engine that apparently gives access to the engine case so you can find TDC. How often is this required? I'm creating a new engine cradle and need design proper access to this plug. If it's infrequent (annual) I'd provide just enough clearance to fit around the plug. So some disassembly of the engine cradle would be required to fully access it. If it's frequent (twice a season) I'd do something to allow full removal of the plug without additional disassembly of the cradle. And no, the cradle won't be hardboard, that's just a template :) Thoughts? http://https://s1.postimg.org/7x7cnabshr/IMG_0873.jpg (https://postimg.org/image/7fhaypaewr/) |

I have been messing with these engines for quite a few years and I have never needed that. I thought that was a plug for the oil galley where they connected two lines. |

Title: Re: How often do you check TDC? Post by jcstokes on 10/27/17 at 13:08:34 The plug can be sticky, apparently some of the mechanics on this site use a ground down disc pad to loosen it, best to get their opinion. |

Title: Re: How often do you check TDC? Post by batman on 10/27/17 at 14:23:28 You should get a Clymer's manual ,but you also need to read about the mistakes in it posted on this site. ( when finding TDC the Clymer's tell you to rotate the motor clockwise, which is wrong! you need to rotate it the same direction the wheels turn -counter clock wise. |

Title: Re: How often do you check TDC? Post by norm92de on 10/27/17 at 16:39:46 The timing port on my engine is little more than finger tight. It never has come loose. And of course it is never a problem to remove. I always check the angle when I park the bike. Consequently, I don't think it needs to be very tight. |

Good idea to get a manual. They are on closeout at BikeBandit so I got one on order. |
