Anyone with puller building experience comment on if the "T" and "S" were accurate within a degree on Kohler K-series.

LOL...I changed the motor on my 1250 (was beat-up pretty bad when I got it) to a 16hp K341 20 years ago...danged if I can find the timing marks either and like you have to wonder about how accurate they would be (where I think they should be would be sighting through a hole that looks like a beaver chewed it). There is also a more refined hole on the carb side but there I'm looking at "teeth". Maybe they refined the design so I am on the same side of the machine as the points but I can't see any marks there either. But all in all, I deal with stock Kohler points that are positioned in a spot that makes them move before I can tighten to where I want them...so I rely on the static timing and it seems to work (.020 gap using a wire gauge that is probably closer to .018 now).
