I have to be close? Knowing I won"t be in town the next week or so I left work a little early to play with the vh4d again. So below is what I have confirmed,
1. I have strong spark.
2. On the upstroke of # 1 cyl 12:00 is about 3/4 of the way to TDC , if I continue to hand crank the flywheel until I hear a snap at the mag I"m at 5 :00
3. I attempted to hand prime the fuel pump with no luck at one time I had fuel in the carb from the pump but for some reason it"s not going in so I will continue to work on that. I thought maybe turning the engine over and spraying starter fluid at the same time it would start ? I took the carb bowl screw off and typically gas would drip out but nothing?
4. Mag is timed per the book with the X showing thru the site screw.
So I have compression, spark, gas I hope, it should go however the timing is confusing me. I"m getting a lot of good advice but a lot of different direction, I appreciate all the advice right or wrong it"s getting me more up to speed on the engine and how it functions. As you can tell I don"t have experience with engines on this level and a learning experience it has been, I"m just ready for class to be over and this thing to start already, any how thanks to all for the advice talk soon.
