I have a 51 Super A that was apart when I got it, governor was out, I see timing marks to line it all up ,the crank pulley has notches like a cub but I do not see a pointer any where to align them with, its been painted, I do not see any sign of a pointer broken off, manual really does not show one
where is it located ?
thanks

Re: Super A Timing
Tim,
The timing marks are on the flywheel, in front of the ring gear. If I'm wrong someone will be along shortly to give you the correct info.

Re: Super A Timing
Yes, what Bill aid. The timing mark is on the outer surface of the flywheel, marked "D C 1-4". View it through the roundish hand hole in the bottom of the bell housing. The mark to align it is a vertical rib cast into the half-moon cover in front of the flywheel.
Once you find the mark, you may want to add a dab of white paint at the timing mark to make it easier to find next time.

Re: Super A Timing
And, Tim, I found it very difficult to find it & line it up. You definitely need 2 people...one unlucky one on their back!

Re: Super A Timing
I went through my SA photos, and this is the only one I could find. I remember having to use sandpaper to find it (thats why I painted it!), and I believe the timing "pointer" is on the half-moon housing cover. Sure makes you appreciate the cub's system!!
(Click on photo to enlarge...timing mark is at bottom center just below the single whit dot.)
Note: The arrows were so I could find it, since I was doing it by myself!

Re: Super A Timing
I have a 130 with no pointer. I guess it is the same for the 100-130?
When you only have 9 horsepower you need to know the names of all of the ponies!

Right. The pointer was added for the 140/240.

Re: Super A Timing
Maybe I'm just too dumb to know any better, but I have ignored the timing marks in the past. I just got #1 to TDC on compression and then went from there.
