June 29, 201610 yr Had the engine apart on my brother in laws 290, cant get it to start now pretty sure the timings out Whats the easiest way to set the timing? we dont have a dial indicator can we do it without this?
June 29, 201610 yr Should be an index line on top of stator plate that aligns with top casting Web right edge.

June 30, 201610 yr Author Im pretty sure the stator went back in exactly the same position, when aligning the marking on the fly wheel with the mark on the engine does the engine need to be at top dead center

Then double check the flywheel slides on nicely over the crankshaft woodruff key. The marks on the perimeter of the flywheel and ignition cover sealing edge of the crankcase are only for dynamic timing, but you shouldn't need to fetch out the strobe ...if it was working before the flywheel was removed.

Yes, as stated, the woodruff key(keyway) is the only thing to align on the flywheel. Then proper torque of the retaining nut. If it is out of time it will still spark the plug, just at the incorrect time. Engine may not run.

July 5, 201610 yr And don't just nip up the flywheel nut thinking it'll be fine, the bugger will work loose and shear the woodruff key. 100N/M or 73 ft/lbs
