Reply To: JW-22 Magneto Timing

[drifter]

Thanks Mumbles. My Ring only has the dimple under the arrow on the tank ring. I looked in my Seloc manual for timing on the JW-22 and it states “Pickup point #6” in the appendix. When I look at #6 in the appendix it reads: “starboard side of mark”. I can barely make this adjustment even with the cam adjusted all the way out. Does not appear that the cam is worn and no grove in the throttle arm. Might be slop in the bearing surfaces of the throttle arm. I found another reference in my Clymer manual volume 1 on page 158. It shows a photo and reads: “to synchronize speed controls on 1967 and earlier models, move the speed control handle until the leading edge of the cam is behind the center of the cam follower …..the cam should just remove free play in the linkage.” The photo shown mirrors my photo in my original post. I must be close for sure.
Thanks for your photo because I missed the mark on my motor.
