Here is the timing slot in the middle hole and it should be lined up with the bigger hole to take the locking pin.
But in this position the woodruff key aligns with the arrow and the cam and pump align.
So should I take the belt off and turn the crank till I can lock it?

Lock the crank then do the timing.

Absolutely right!!!! lock it in the right position, and work back from there..... it worked for me - I can find the pictures I took if it would help, later on though ( sorry, but this "work" gets in the way :rolleyes:)
 
Update
I locked the crank and worked from there, pin in flywheel, cam on mark and pump pin in place and free to move in and out. Will be putting everything back together but won't know how well I have done till I sort the rest out.
Thanks all!!

Just to confirm crank timing the notch in the front crank sprocket should align with the mark on the casing, see here at 21/22 seconds in

Here is a pic of mine, inside the timing case post mechanical pump install - its not the best pic, but you should be able to see the timing marks, and the slot in the pulley referred to by @Kwakerman, above....
 
Could be the angle but from the picture it looks like the crank is a few degrees before TDC as the woodruff key doesn't look vertical and the cam timing mark isn't aligned either. I assume it all looks ok square on?

Could be, but, as I said - not the best pic... it was just to give some additional info from the vid you posted....
