Default Re: Timing the model a....

As was mentioned, use a thin Phillips driver (I've used an ice pick or a long nail) because the hole is very shallow. Remove #1 spark plug. Put a long nail into hole. As nail first moves up a bit press lightly on Phillips & you should feel a slight dip. OR Put a thin, rigid metal ruler into spark hole, slowly turn with crank & stop at highest point. Often (for me) that worked too. Good luck.
