I got a replacement balancer. The numbers are not painted in. So it would be pretty hard to read timing unless I do something before I get it in there.

Any suggestions? (Paint, other?)

I use a sharpie marker (blk marker on silver/natural balancers, and a silver marker on black balancers).

Paint, like Brandon uses, is more permanent but takes longer to do.

Good luck.

I still got the stock balancer, but this worked for me: I took masking tape and put it on the line i wanted to set timing at, 10, for me. Mkaes it real esy to see. start it up, twist till its set, done deal.
