Dial indicator for timing

- Start date
No, I posted a link to one for sale on CL. I checked and the ad expired. Too bad, because it was about half the price of what I paid for mine on Ebay a few years ago.
[MENTION=58813]Skipp[/MENTION], got your PM. As Markus said above, any dial indicator will work if you use a simple fixture with the head off. I don't use mine anymore as it was intended. I made a fixture out of an old head that allows me to both time, and check valve lift/indexing of a cam.
Because no one builds engines on OldMiniBikes eh [MENTION=47323]OND[/MENTION] ? :laugh:
Here it is in use to index an unknown cam in a Briggs Raptor I, and pressed into service on my truing stand.

Look at post #9 in this link for an alternative to the original Tecumseh dial indicator.........https://www.google.com/url?q=https:...9:1361520517&usg=AOvVaw2hJCnxlU9w5dhiNnbrEoFJ
I hope you get the original one Chad- (minibikin) offered. But I did want to let people know that there is an alternative to the original..

Classic! When I was at Toyota I go out to the lot to bring a Prius in the shop to do some repair service to it. I nearly wrecked it coming onto the building, The old guy that owned it had some CD blaring that was sounds of WWII warplanes, when I got in all was quiet, there was a delay between each different plane. about 15 feet to the shop door a war plane started coming at me....I just about pissed myself!
The dealership was right under the path of a pretty busy small airport thats less than a mile away. Actually the one that Troy Ruttman had his aircraft brokerage at and where the Terrorists that hit the towers did some training :doah: So smaller prop driven planes were coming in low all day right over us, I thought it was the end and I was gonna die in a hybrid that looks like a cockroach :laugh:
