I think, anno 2023 , the way to go is using a digital caliper.......set the caliper at 2 inches or so, have the piston push up the measring rod of the caliper, set it to zero, then push out to 7/16 inch for 39 degrees.....turn the crankshaft and wait till the piston touches the measuring rod again at 7/16 in compression stroke....

Bulb across the points on a magneto doesn't work. The mag is independent of the battery, it only generates current in the primary winding when the armature is rotating. Before 1958 when magneto ignition /dynamo charging was replaced by alternator/ coil / battery motorcycle owners did their own maintenance. Their tool kit was often very basic. Dial gauges were a luxury. An experienced man could achieve a high degree of accuracy with the methods shown in this video. Also with manually adjusted advance and retard the timing could be adjusted on the move. By slightly retarding the ignition the rider could improve uphill torque or eliminate preignition. Electric start and Twist and go is a modern phenomenon. Imagine having to deal with hand change gears, fuel and air mixture levers, decompressors and manual ignition control. Add to that before 1930 carbide lighting sets were common and gave a better light than 6V bulbs. The rider needed to constantly adjust the acetylene gas generator while on the move. Stirrup and drum brakes were useless by todays standards leading to brown trouser moments while riding your vintage machine in modern traffic.
