Re: New motor won't crank, don't know what else to do

Put finger over #1 plug hole.
Turn crank by hand till you feel air coming out (compression stroke).
When air stops coming out you are near #1 TDC compression.
Turn CCW a bit then CW a bit til your damper and timing pointer are at spec timing (like 6 degrees for example).
Now rotate dist till rotor is ready to fire #1 plug.
Lock dist position by snugging bolt.
