I was back at the hangar this morning to take the KR for a flight after
the annual. I checked my prop flange again and it appears that, as Jeff
indicated, there are additional timing marks on the bottom when the
crank is in the timing position. I had never looked that closely at the
flange

The perimeter of the crank flange is stamped with TC and a very clear hash mark.
That mark should align with the seam in the case below the crankshaft (TC stamp
should be facing down) to locate TDC on #1 & #2 cylinders.

..It is starting much, much easier with the mag set at about 25 degrees.
We reset it today just to check. So we are leaving it at 25. While taxing
around at lower speeds there is also some little roughness with the
electronic ignition at the lower speeds. It does seem to smooth out at
higher RP
your timing light might work it's one
you'd have to try on the chance that
you fry the coil in the mag. If you
don't want to take the chance, get
a piezo buzzer from Radio Shack
part #273-065 or 273-066 ( about
$3) and a 9 volt battery same as
you use in a smoke detector and
wire between the P lead
