EnDuraSpark Electronic Ignition
Installation & Troubleshooting v5.1
Rotate the crankshaft so that the
pistons are at top dead center
(TDC), the highest point in their
travel in the cylinders. Both
cylinders on an Airhead have the
same TDC crankshaft position.
The timing marks are stamped on
the flywheel and viewed through
the timing hole to the right of the
dip stick.
There is a groove stamped into the
left side of the timing hole. This
groove, NOT the center of the hole,
is used to align timing marks.
Rotate the engine by putting the transmission into 2
nd
gear and bumping around the rear wheel.
This is preferred over using an Allen wrench in the alternator rotor bolt to turn the crankshaft as
this can wallow out the Allen bolt hole. Turn the crank until the OT dot, to the left of the “OT”
stamping on the flywheel, is exactly adjacent to the groove in the timing hole. (OT, in German, is
Oberer Totpunkt, literally the “top dead point”.) If having trouble turning the engine over, the
spark plugs can be removed but this isn’t usually necessary.
The apparent alignment
of the flywheel timing
marks with the groove on the
engine can vary by several
degrees by raising or lowering
your head a few inches.
This is due to the viewing angle
problem if your eyeball is not
exactly perpendicular to the
timing hole. The problem is
worse on R65s which have a 20
mm smaller diameter flywheel
that sits even farther from the
timing window.
