Working intermittently on a 1958 10hp Johnson. Watched several videos and read several forums. Saw that the mag cam should have “top” and an arrow imprinted on the top. Looking at the one I have there is no such imprints. Might it be installed upside down? Should I worry about this issue? I will be using a timing tool when I put the magneto back on, so maybe the arrow isn’t needed.
Thanks
edit: I pulled the cam off and it has no markings on either the top or the bottom and it will fit back on with either side facing up. It had the flatter section just before the “nose” of the cam that would let the point kick open quicker than it closes the point gap. Is this correct? Should the point open or close quicker?
Thx again.
Usually one side of the cam has some sort of markings on it that should face upwards
