" FIRING ORDER" "The firing order of the cylinders is 1-3-4-2, and the magneto and battery type distributor rotate at one-half engine speed, as is the case with conventional "inline" engines. The intervals between the firing of the cylinders is 180 degrees. No. 1 cylinder is the one nearest to the flywheel in the left bank of cylinders, when viewed from the flywheel end of the engine. No. 3 cylinder is the other cylinder in this bank. No. 2 cylinder is the one nearest to the flywheel in the right bank of cylinders and No. 4 is the other cylinder in this bank. The cylinders are numbered from 1 to 4 on the air shroud near the spark plugs. The flywheel end of the engine is designated the front and the power take-off end, the rear of engine."
