Timing marks

I've read through the cam timing sticky several times and am still confused how to line up the aux shaft sprocket. Some say it doesn't matter while others indicate it should line up with the cam gear.

It really doesn't have any real relevancy to the cam/crank timing from my experience. As soon as you pull your dizzy and re-engage it with the aux shaft, the alignment of the dizzy to the aux shaft pulley is gone...if the pulley mark was ever aligned in some fashion to the dizzy's #1 position. The absence of a front cover inspection hole is what helps support that theory.

Whenever I have accidentally bumped my aux shaft/dizzy out, I simply pull the dizzy cap off and set it to where the rotor is just before the #1 post to get things running again and then adjust the dizzy position to bring it into 10 deg BTDC. Not much more than that. Hope this helps.

Yes it does. Thank you.
