I replaced the ignition drive oil seal in my 1948 Cub. Before removing the magneto and governor we placed #1 piston at TDC on the compression stroke. Found the timing mark on the governor drive gear, but cannot locate the one timing mark on the idler gear. Finally rotated the crankshaft enough to locate the two marks on the idler gear that mesh with the camshaft, but even with reading glasses and a flashlight I cannot see the single mark that is used to time the governor. Is there any way to properly time the governor without the single mark on the idler?

Philip:

Big Dog gave you good advice. A mirror would be a good investment... been there done that, trust me..... :-(

As an aside, the GSS-1411 Service Manual as well as the Mag Manuals are on the Cub Manual Server at the link below.

Feel free to peruse to your hearts content...

You will have to cut and past the url into your browser address bar though. For some reason, the link buttons are not working too well lately.

The timing mark will be on the back of the gear as you view it through the mag opening. You'll need a mirror to see it.

I believe the slot on the mag drive will be exactly horizontal at #1 TDC.

You can set it that way, if you can't find any marks.

After intallinfg the mag, with the kill switch in the "OFF" position, verify that the mag impulse does not snap before TDC, before attempting to start it to prevent kick-back.
