Steve,
I just got back... I have the scale from Mark
, and I should be able to get up and running, but I would love to find the metal scale in your picture.. Any luck??
Tod,
I am not a 914 owner, I have a 912E. On the 912 the engine is very "viewable" from the back, and so timing is done using that scale as a reference at 3,000 RPM. I understand from this board that when timing the 914 you use the hole at the top and time based on that.
Mike
