How do I identify what Villiers motor I have and is there any special way of setting the timing on it motor or is it just guesswork with putting a mark on the flywheel and a mark on the backing plate and hopefully that is close enough? I can't see any timing marks anywhere and the points cam is part of the flywheel. I can't see any other way of setting it up or am I missing something. It has good spark I just can't get in the right spot. From what I have found it is a Midget and I have found an arrow on the flywheel and what I think is a mark on the treaded end of crank which looks that it is TDC. The problem is if I line these marks up is puts the points at the back of the points cam so at this stage I am a little confused.
