I just bought a OC3-42 and trying to figure out the year. I'll upload a couple of photos that my help. there was no tag behind the carb. Has a Anderson Blade. thanks johnka
11WH420 would be a late 1952.
I'm now trying to time the governor flyweight to the can gear - is there a trick to do this?
I have a "'2"' marked on one tooth and a open tooth and then a"3".
I assume there is a mark on the cam gear? Does bringing #1 to TDC make this mark visable?
thanks johnka
The 2 is for a 20 degree mag and the 3 is for a 34 degree mag. Oliver always used the 34 degree mag. There will be a punch mark at the valley between the teeth on the cam gear. Set the mag drive gear with the 3 in that valley.
Thanks, Robert. I'll give that a try.
Landis Zimmermen says I have a 1952 OC 3-42 Thanks.
John,
Zimmermans enclosed a 3 page Tech Tip on timing the Hercules IX-3 series with my last order.
If you have a FAX, he will fax it to you.

thanks I'll fax him and ask for the tips. jk
