REFLECTOR: Changing Mag wires IO360

[John Dibble]

Kevin,

This issue is dependent on how much space you have, which probably 
varies with each Velo.  If you need to use the procedure I described for 
a slick mag, you need to maintain the mag in proper timing position.  
When you pull the mag out, only pull it out about 3/8", so the gear is 
still engaged.  Reach in the gap with a black marker and make a mark 
that coincides with something on the mag housing, so you can keep the 
timing about right.  When installing, reach underneath and keep a finger 
on the gear so it won't turn while you slide it in.  That should keep 
the timing in the ballpark and you can then set it with the timing light.
