Take out the spark plugs and turn engine over till the timing mark is tdc in the sight glass. The sight glass is behind the generator cover which can be removed with a phillips head screwdriver. One of the pistons should be at the top when you do this, it will be the one you check first for valve clearance. Valve clearance on older models will be 10mm for intake, 15 mm for exhaust. After you set that piston roll the engine over till the other piston is at top dead center, the timing mark should be on the arrow as well. Now set the valve clearance for that cylinder. After you do this roll the engine over a couple of times and recheck valve clearance on both cylinders to make sure you got it right. That's it! There is no way to set timing on an engine that I know of other than moving the timing chain on the gears.
