Congratulations on getting it going.

Just for the record, the "o" is the 5 deg BUDC mark.

Your timing marks should look like this:

U I C o 5

The mark between the U and the C is UDC or TDC if you like.

The 5 refers to the "o" mark.

Hopefully someone with more experience can answer your question on starting
when warm.
