Setting the timing on a 12hp
So I almost hate to even ask this question but where do I look to see the "S" on the fly wheel? I only see one whole on the S/G side of the engine that could help me here but I've turned the crank over and over and only see white and yellow marks? I have a timing light and need to tune up this cub. After this I'll get the carb tweaked as well. I've read both guides in the tech section on this forum but for the life of me cannot find this "S"

It is there. It is probably rusted over making it difficult to see. Sandpaper used to scour away the rust & polish up the edge of the flywheel will help.

Questions on setting timing.
So first let me explain what I have done and then where I'm at. I first gaped the points to 20 like all the guides and manuals say which is to be a good starting point. Then I found the compression stroke by first (finally!!!) sighting the small S on the fly wheel. With that in sight I spin the fly wheel till I see the points opening up and the S in sight. This was the process I read in one of the guides. Now by either using a meter or light I'm suppose to rotate the flywheel slowly till either the light goes on using the light method or the meter moves. At which point I see if the S is center in the sight hole. So before I even ask any questions, am I correct so far? It makes no sense to ask a bunch of questions if what I'm doing up to this point is not correct. If it is then I'll start typing some more

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
