As I have found out this is a greatly discussed topic from which I have gleaned information, but I am stuck getting my 73 850 to run with my knowledge of it being correctly timed.
I spent the good part of Saturday fiddling with a strobescope with hopeless results.
On Sunday I made the second move, I found TDC and with a timing disk on the crank reversed the crank to 31 degrees BTDC (see pictures) and set my Boyer with the magnet showing through the hole. Then I put the primary casing on to find the mark it was showing at 29 degrees. I have heard of loose casings but mine sits nice and tight.
Previously I had been doing all settings on the left cylinder and taking strobe readings from the left HT lead. Measurement checks were carried out on both cylinders with a stop gauge.
