skander01, You know the old saying, angle of the dangle times…………….! The pointer is called a timing fixture but it is really a tool to adjust the ignition to fire as close as possible to 180 degrees apart. Any kind of a tool would work as long as it was straight and fasten to the crankshaft If you set one set of points you could put the pointer between the marks. Then roll the motor so the other piston is at top dead center. Make those points close with the pointer between the marks and your done. Usually the point gap ends up just a couple thousands different. I wish I had a buck for every snowmobile that I did this timing thing on. Maybe then I could afford a few more outboards!
