Bzzzzt! Not ;). Timing marks are on the flywheel. There is a flip up cover
on the front of the bellhousing, driver's side top, next to the engine
block. IIRC, one of the marks is an 'o', the others are just dots. I can't
for the life of me recall if the 'o' is TDC or the preferred timing or
something else. It does show this info in the operators manual. I would set
it for best(highest) idle RPM and call it good.
