This is all great stuff but now I have a headache. First forget watching the valve, pull all the plugs, slowly rotate the engine until it blows your thumb out of #1 spark plug hole. Look in the spark plug hole and get the piston at TDC. Then you should see if the flywheel ball is visible in the hole above the starter, if not as stated, the flywheel has been put on wrong. No matter, adjust the dist. rotor to #1 wire, then fine tune the thing. If all this fails then you need to get a manual.
