Re: Trying to Find Top Dead Center

As it's a 4-cycle engine there are 2 TDC positions, one with the piston at the end of the compression stroke and the other at the end of the exhaust stroke. The rotor should be under plug #1 only when at TDC on the compression stroke.

You find TDC by using the timing marks and pointer on the vibration damper, not by the position of the rotor.
