    Last of the big "to dos". Got new SEM stator and need timing specs.

    Funny but no timing marks on imprinted on this stator but was able to do some outlining for the marks off the old one.

    youll find the manuals in the Tech section..
    if you look at the flywheel, you will see a small hole, that holes lines up with another hole in the stator.
    they should set up just before TDC.
    how i set them, is just as the piston starts the arc of TDC, right before it flattens out, is were i set mine.
    makes then easy to start, and still have lots of power, without putting a hole in your piston.

    oldhusky,
    Thanks for the info. Out there in the shop all weekend piddling w/ the dang thing. Got a little spark but no start. Want to scream bloody murder. Saving the best (HA!) for last. I just knew the stator/timing/starting issue were going to be a MF.
    Thanks again for the info, though.

    SEM was known for having a weak spark.
    i found it wild that they had 60 amp lighting circut, but a pisspour main..
