Paul,

Any chance you will be able to stop by tomorrow afternoon?  I still
haven't been able to get the engine started but think I've got a couple
of things to try.

Thanks
Randy


I'll will be there about 1PM.
Have you checked for top dead center.
You can get a rough indication by putting a screw
drive in the lower spark plug hole and turning the
engine over slowly by hand.

A better way is modify an old spark plug and attach
a clear plastic  tube about 3 feet long orientated vertically.
Than fill the chamber with thin oil and watch the oil go up and down
in the tube as the engine is rotated by hand.

The timing should be about 22 BTDC. Mark this on the ring
gear with white paint.
