Hi List,
Yes, I removed the magneto from one of my newly acquired International LB
without properly checking the alignment of the magneto shaft to the crankshaft
rotation.
What is the proper method to time the International LB magneto to the
engine? There is a marked tooth on the magneto. There doesn't seem to be a
corresponding mark on the cam gear. When the "DC" mark (compression stroke) on the
flywheel is aligned with the mark on the engine, the cam output shaft key
way is also aligned to the same engine mark. With this condition, what is the
correct position of the magneto gear or point cam?
By the way, after replacing the capacitor and cleaning/adjusting the points,
the magneto does produce a nice blue spark.
