Ever since I've owned this baler (4 years) the timing marks haven't been lined up so I finally got around to trying to get the needle timing fixed. The timing marks were probably 1-1.5 inches off.
I did exactly what the manual says--
I removed the drive chain by loosening the idler pulley and lowering it.
Turned the flywheel in direction of travel ntil the crank was vertical and between the timing marks.
I confirmed the knotter clutch pawl was resting against the backstop on the knotter clutch. Then I pulled out on the needle yoke rod.
I turned the clutch gear until the timing marks were lined up. In the picture I was turning the one on the LEFT. It was difficult to keep it correctly in place when replacing the chain.
I reinstalled the chain and tightened it, then tripped the knotter and turned it through a complete cycle. After doing this, my timing marks were off by about an inch again (about where they were before). Pic is attached by how far they're off. What am I doing wrong here?
