[SEL] FMZ Gear and Timing questions.

[Elden DuRand]

I can't belive that all you guys got it wrong!

The gear has 51 teeth and, naturally, it mates with a 25-1/2 tooth crankshaft gear.  That makes the ratio almost exactly 2:1!  

Don't feel foolish, it happens all the time.   :-)

Take care - Elden
