Default Ballistic 550 Motor Timing ?

Anyone have any info, other than Novak's website on adjusting the timing on a Ballistic 550 ?
Instructions and website both indicate a timing sticker on the endbell but mine only has a barcode sticker that looks nothing like listed sticker.

Of course being the dumbshit I am, I went to retard the timing and found the endbell just rotates without a stop like other motors, so it could be anywhere now

There are notches from 15 to 45 around the can. I'm not sure what setting you need but there's only three little screws that you need to slightly loosen so you can adjust. Not sure if this helps.

I read somewhere that the factory '0' timing is different on each motor but should be located somewhere around 13-15 degrees on the can. I'd start by aligning your timing mark at 15 and test from there.

There is one notch on the can, but no degree sticker just a barcode sticker on the adjustable end bell, so no reference point to set from.

Found out my new motor was an OOPS!, someone forgot to put a timing sticker on it.
Did find out from Novak that 1mm = 5* of timming

Thanks to customer service and help from a friend, they got me in the ballpark, even offered to fix it.
