I have tried setting crab at middle mark and adjusted brake w/ little effect. Crab was built by Bubbas. Currently running carbs sync'd.
Might be worth the effort to mark the front pulley for TDC and several degree marks, then add a pointer and see where the timing really is. If 12v, all you need is a turn back timing light and a TDC mark and pointer.
