Setting up the valve timing and have a question as the sequence in the manual seems to not match what I'm seeing on the engine. Find the compression stroke on Cylinder 1 (from looking at the fuel plumbing manual this would appear to be the closest to the fan / furthest from the generator head) follow the sequence from Intake closing, timing marks go PC then A. At A, the intake and compression are both slack. Do the adjustments for Cylinder 1 ok. Manual then asks to do a 180 degree turn, and should come up on B in the timing port. When I do that, the number 2 cylinder (closest to the generator head) does not have valves slack. They don't come slack till I'm back past PC to A in the timing port on the second rev? Is the manual wrong, is number 1 cylinder not as I've identified it from the fuel plumbing, or are the marks not right on my flywheel? If I set it up by finding the slack point on the second set of valves then adjusting them, it starts and runs strong...What am I missing here?
Thanks,
