Default RE: Finding TDC and Timing Ignition Vedio

After doing this a number of times, you can also look through the exhaust port while at TDC. Watch for piston movement. There is a range of hub rotation where the piston isn't moving; the MIDDLE of that back and forth rotation is TDC. Milton calls it "rocking the piston", and it is extremely easy to get very accurate.

I had the freezing up, too. Maybe the file is damaged at You Tube.
I also agree that the background birds makes it a very pleasant video to listen to.
