Timing On A Craftsman Propane Trimmer.
I have a Craftsman Model 104-792120 trimmer that broke an exhaust valve and I have obtained the exhaust valve from Sears. What is the timing and how do I set it? I have found the timing mark on the cam shaft but am not sure of the timing mark on the crankshaft. If I knew the timing degrees I can find the timing mark on the crankshaft.
