Does anyone have a picture or a good discription of the point where the ARC flywheel fires? If so please post or message it to me. Thanks

A good 'WAG' is abt when the magnet is centered with the coil plus abt 3-5degs, however....it vary's from engine to engine. (Don't 'bank' on it!) JMODoes anyone have a picture or a good discription of the point where the ARC flywheel fires? If so please post or message it to me. Thanks

If it was purchased after 1/2013 the coil should fire when the leading edge if the magnet (the first line with the grey puddy) is in line with the right hand side of the coil. This may vary from coil to coil because some fire a little different. The best way is to point a timing light at the coil to see exactly where it fires.
Very true, however...I wasn't 'assuming' he has a timing light and 'knowing' what he's after....jst say'nI would think you could use a timing light. It would show you exactly.
I understand what you’re saying, and you’re right, but if he wants to know exactly where the ignition is firing, he needs one.Very true, however...I wasn't 'assuming' he has a timing light and 'knowing' what he's after....jst say'n
I 4got all abt that one Don....that takes me way-back to my auto shop days in high school and a flathead Ford '60'! Now, that was 'hi-tech!! (about the time karting started btw)I am going to take you guys back to the really old days of the flathead. Do you remember when you could check the timing with a radio? The points would open and a clicking sound would be heard through the radio. Man,, that goes back a ways!!!!
