SURE YOU CAN USE THE FLYWHEEL! JUST MOUNT A POINTER AIMED AT THE FLYWHEEL, AND THEN MARK THE FLYWHEEL REFERENCED TO #1 CYLINDER AT TOP DEAD CENTER, THEN FIND YOUR TIMING MARK, SUCH AS 16 DEGREES BEFORE TOP DEAD CENTER, (THE DEGREE MARKINGS WILL BE MUCH FARTHER APART BECAUSE THE FLYWHEEL IS A GREATER DIAMETER). OFCOURSE YOU WILL FIRE YOUR TIMING LIGHT OFF OF THE #1 SPARK PLUG WIRE, AS ALWAYS! THE ONLY THING THAT WILL BE DIFFERENT, IS THE FLYWHEEL WILL BE TURNING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION; AS YOU LOOK AT IT. WORKS SAME AS A "CRANK TRIGGERED" IGNITION, ONLY AT THE OTHER END OF THE CRANKSHAFT. REGARDS, MARLIN.
