Well,
I considered all the advice I got, at times it gets hard to pick which way to go. I decided to review some old post from el toro , bob, Ralph . El-toro kept asking about the timing and posting a picture of the flywheel and different marks. So I decided to really read what he was saying and asking. It sort of put me in a situation where I was second guessing the timing that I did a few months back, so I hand cranked the motor and per the manual the rotor should click at the same time number one piston is TDC and the vein marked with an X is at 12:00 , well in researching this I found the rotor clicking at 10:00 not 12:00 so I left the flywheel fin at 12:00, removed the mag and it took a lot to get it right , a lot of turning, re-installing, turning, re-installing. So at this point number one is TDC at 12:00 and the closest I could get the rotor to snapping is about 11:55 close enough for me! I double checked the firing order 1342 all is good , fired it up and I just stood there and smiled! Thanks everyone!
