Guys, all greetings from Yekaterinburg!
Collecting the engine (nc24, nc13e), and the question arose about the timing gears.
Do I need to install an additional half turn the gears?

Moving part of gear should turn??

Greetings....and welcome,

Simple answer - no. you are looking at the backlash gears and they aer spring to ensure constant engagement.

When you read on here about people removing the quietening gears - it is that thinner slice of gear.

It would fit as it is and work fine..

Thank you!
I am very grateful!
