I got Kohler service book and I wanted to tune my tractor for best performance. I can NOT find S or ST mark on flywheel looking through a hole in a cover. I installed new braker point and I get a spark only time to time.I inderstand the procedure in the manual but can not find THE TIMING MARK!!!!!!!
Please help with any tips or sugestion as Kohler Mfg website is not responding. thanks

The Timing Marks ARE there. You have to turn the flywheel over and use some sandpaper on the flat edge of the wheel to see them, but hey are there. Once you uncover them, then you can enhance those marks with something like white paint.

The timing marks are VERY hard to find through the hole in the flywheel shroud and THEY ARE NOT where pictured in the previous post. The one's I have seen are on the engine block side of the starter ring gear. Most of the time I need to remove the flywheel from the engine and clean up with a motorized wire wheel to find them. When i do find them, I mark them with a "WHIRE OUT PEN"
