Strobe Light

[Kiwi_Roy]

I borrowed a strobe light over the weekend and looked through the hole at the ring gear.

(2001 V11 Sport)

All I could see was a few teeth, no marks that were obvious.

The teeth advanced when the revs build up as I expected.

 

Should I see any marks there at the firing position or do the marks correspond to TDC?

 

I did find the right cylinder missed a spark now and then at idle which co-responds to the stall I experience.

 

Thanks

Roy

When you say "strobe light", are you referring to a timing light ? You may not see anything because the engine uses the crank sensor to reference TDC. To my knowledge these ir any marks that are normally on the flywheel are no longer there. The light not showing up consistently is evidence of misfire on that side.
