remove the front engine cover. Fit degree plate to crankshaft. Rotate engine till L.H. cylinder is at TDC.on firing (compresion) stroke. Register this with a mark on crankcase at 0deg. on the degree plate. Rotate the crank almost 2 complete turns and stop it at 5deg.before TDC. Rotate distributer gear in clockwise direction till contac points just opening with rotor arm pointing to L.H.cylinder. Slip the idler gear into possition, fit the facing washer and slotted nut, but do not pin at this stag, slacken bolt holding distributer clamp plate to crankcase. Adjust ditributer to left or right to finalise points opening at 5deg.BTDC. Tighten slotted nut and relace split pin. Beowulf.

Adjust timing on motorcycle?
That depends on what kind of timing you are wondering about... In a basic ignition there are two types of engine timing, static and dynamic. Static timing is the timing your engine runs at idle and low rpm. Dynamic timing is the variable (thus called dynamic) timing your engine runs on from low to full rpm. The static timing should always be set first, it depends on what ignition your motorcycle has...points? magnetic pickup? crank fired? there are several types The dynamic timing refers to the timing advance the distributor modulates through engine rpm. Setting this requires a timing light and timing marks on the harmonic balancer and engine block (usually stamped into the parts themselves from the factory). To help you out further I need to know what kind of ignition you have...a service manual will tell you what kind you have, and even how to adjust it. Best of luck!
