John,
What you are saying makes a lot of sense to me. As I originally wrote, it seems like the timing is significantly off even though the timing is set within reason according to the marks.
Is it OK to use oil in a clear tube that is fitted snugly into the spark plug hole for finding TDC?
Also, if the balancer has slipped, should it replaced, or is it OK to continue to use with corrected timing marks?
Thanks, Steve
