K321 Timing
 

I need a sanity check...where is the sight hole on a k321?

I was about to use Matt's K-Series Static Ignition Timing instructions to set the timing on my 149 but I can't find the sight hole on the flywheel cover. This is my first 14hp tractor other are all 10hp and 12hp, those I find right were I would expect them, but the 14hp doesn't have a hole on either side.

Look over by the S/G mounting bracket. Follow along and below the bracket and there it is, a little less than dime size. If the S/G is off you can't miss it.

I think I found it, not a round hole in the flywheel shroud, but a cresent shaped "notch" in the bearing plate, and WOOHOO I finally got a spark!!!!!

Now I just need to fix the spark plug threads in the head and we will see is this bugger will start....mouse nest in the flywheel sure does stink!!!

Good news, since I pulled the head off I got to clean up the carbon, and I found that it still has standard bore so me sees a rebuild in the future!

I also picked up some 10-24 1/4" cap bolts, putting it back together with a hex key is a whole lot easier than flat head screws.

Here is a pic. Note the TDC is "OC", and the timing mark is "SP"
