yeah but... 200

240snowmobile,

thanks again for the response...

the balancer is irrelevant for setting up the timing.... you set the timing by aligning the keyhole on the crankshaft with the line engraved on the block...

THEN you put the balancer back on.... (it can only go on in one position)... by fitting it over the keyhole shaft on the crank. When I do all this, the balancer happens to also line up at the 0 degree mark on the timing cover... I don't think this is a coincidence... I'm quite sure Volvo designed it this way.

Now, if the balancer is truly off, then why the hell would it also line up with the 0 degree line on the timing cover... unless what Grif suggested that timing cover has somehow warped and the 0 degree line has shifted... But I doubt that.

REGARDLESS OF ALL THIS... when you look at my knock sensor symptoms, the timing should get even worse!!!

WHen I unplugged the knock sensor (the timing then reverts to full retard mode in this case), I get NO change in the timing measurement! It stays at 0 degrees... IF INDEED the balancer was shifted, then when I unplug the knock sensor, it should move even further PAST 0 degrees (which is does not)
