I have the book in hand.It says remove screen over flywheel,this will expose timing marks on flywheel and shroud for timing magneto.There is a X on one of the vanes line it up with the mark on the shroud (looks like that marks on tin shroud at 12 o'clock).It also says to take #1 spark plug out and turn until you get some compression out . This will get you close to the X on flywheel vane.Did you take the plug in magneto mounting housing out so you can see the X on the mag also because it has to be in the hole.Hope this helps let me know if you need more information.Good Luck

I don't think you use the 12:00 mark. Use the mark in line with the # 1 cylinder certer line for static timing. At least that is for the old vf4 engines. The mag should trip when # 1 is at TDC and the rotor is at the # 1 plug wire.
