This morning, with the hand crank, I slowly turned the engine over while sticking my finger in the #1 spark plug hole. Feeling compression, I shined a flashlight in the hole and watched the piston come up as close to TDC as I could tell and looked at the rotor button position....hehe, sitting right on #4! Because of the reach...or actually lack thereof, I couldn't crank and stick my finger in the #4 plug hole and feel for compression as it came up on TDC.
Regardless, if the timing is 180 degrees out....it has been running that way for years, as I have never touched it in the 4 years I have owned it. Yes, I should have paid closer attention before I took the old spark plug wires off. But, I didn't and there is no need in crying over spilled milk. If anybody wonders if I ever changed the plugs before....YES, I have. But I just pulled the wires off and let them lay next to the cylinder they came from, which made it a no-brainer as to where they went back.
If any of you wish to send me an email, feel free to do so. Jumptrap at windstream dot net.
