Fitted up new Ignitech ignition / coils etc today. Short of removing cam covers to see where the valves are, how can I make sure I've got the piston to TDC on the firing stroke?
I turned the engine over until the vertical piston was at the top of it's stroke and the timing marks were in the little window, but I'm not sure it's on the firing stroke. ( Do we even time it off the vertical cylinder? Or should I be using the horizontal cylinder? ) While the engine was in that position, I got the ignition to fire the plug, then tightened everything up, but it won't start. Mucked around with the crank position magnet rotor a bit to try to get the timing right, but so far it's not working for me. Last try it fired 2 feet of flame out both mufflers :surprise: So I'm guessing the timing is retarded, but I'd really like to make sure I have it on the right stroke first.
