Cletis,
If you read the very first post, Birge has determined that #1 is coming up on compression...he has his finger over the plug hole with air rushing by. If he now sees the BB on the pointer, he is TDC on #1...no 50/50 chance at all. Now that impresses me.
Birge is concerned with getting his engine running. It has him frustrated and his feels confused about the timing issue. My guess is he isn't concerned about where the clips are or which hole in the cap will get him the gold medal.
To insinuate that there is only one to achieve this end is going to frustrate many folks who aren't as accomplished a mechanic as some.
I might be wrong on this..it wouldn't be the first time, but I would like to give Birge the benefit of the doubt.
