The piston comes to the top of the cylinder twice, once on compression stroke then again on exhaust stroke. It’s possible you could be setting up the dizzy on the exhaust stroke, then all the ignition leads will be out of sync and it won’t ever start. Easiest way to tell is to take the rocker cover off of the RH side and make sure both rockers of no 1 cylinder are loose at TDC. Then see where the rotor arm of the dizzy points and arrange the leads in the correct order clockwise from there. If one of the rockers aren’t loose, turn the engine another full turn to get to TDC on the compression stroke and go from there.</p></blockquote><p></p>
