Either the Yam service manual procedure for checking timing is missing steps or not exact, or I'm missing the required brain cells to understand this procedure. See attachments.
I'm getting stumped on the very 1st-3rd steps..."turn flywheel clockwise and align timing plate and specified mark". If the specified mark refers to the manufacturers straight line mark on the underside of the flywheel....when this mark is align with the timing plate arrow, it's impossible for this mark to also align with the base assembly mark when the magneto control lever is fully advanced. What the heck?...this makes no sense.
Timing lesson 101...who's up for teaching?
