making something simple into a complete overhaul..just turn the rotor 180 degrees if it won't start and sounds horrible...# piston has two TDC...hold your thumb over the hole and crank engine when you feel compression that the correct TDC..set rotor to # 1 pin..job finished and then fine tune timing..timing pin in front is not ever needed..Take flashlite and look sideways at #1 plug hole ..you can see top of piston then bring it to top..sc
