Finding TDC and Timing Ignition Vedio
I was a little stupid at one point and plugged the battery up wrong

Please take note
The way the video show for finding top dead center will work on most engines but the timing could be different for different ignitions.
The 28 deg timing methord will not work for DA, 3W, ZDZ and some of the others that the timing is set for around 3-5 mm before top dead center.

Anyone *could* do it, but that doesn't mean anyone *should* do it. Just my .02
Milton - that is a wonderful vid...you should put it on your own website, for sure!!! I'll be downloading it to "keep". Well Done! And thank you!
Very interesting video.
However, from 0:45 to 1:11 the video freezes and all I got form Youtube is the audio.
The audio keeps running then the video & audio resumes after 1:11.
I guess is matter of Bandwidth.
I tried from 2 differnt PC.
Anyone having this problem while playing this video?
I guess it will be good to know more about that little piece of information we are missing.
I don't have one of those gages, I use a caliper to find out the TDC, however takes me a while and multiple readings and a lot o patience.
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.
If you booked marked the old link in the first post I am going to delete that one from youtube, So book mark the new link in the first post for future reference.

For those like methat never haveused the "piston stop".
Could you show us a detail ofthis device?
I guess is a homemade device, is that right?
A sort of spark plug with an electrode removed?
Thanks<o></o>

I use a CM6 plug with a 1/4-20 bolt throught it for 10 mm plugs and a adapter from CM6 to standard plug for standard plug threads, any thing wil work, Just get a bolt that fits the plug threads and put a nut on it and lock the nut in place with some thin CA.
Some people use a wood dowel glued into a spark plug after the electrodes have been removed and drill a hole in the cenetr of the dowel so not to have any compression while rotating the crank
