Tanner, At the risk of getting my other foot stomped on, you are correct in assuming the cylinders of your engine are numbered in order from the front (Radiator end) to the back as 1-2-3-4 no matter which side you are looking at. Each cyl has two strokes, one compression and one exhaust. The reason you must have number one at TDC on compression stroke to time it is that it has just compressed the air and fuel drawn in through the intake valve and fires at that position. If you have the cylinder firing at TDC on the exhaust stroke, there is not any compressed air and fuel mixture to ignite as all of the spent gases have just been pushed out through the exhaust valve. I do hope you get this engine running.
