Super C won't start?

-Stroke one-

Fuel drawn into cylinder -intake vale open, piston travels downward (intake cycle)

Piston move back up and compresses fuel so its more explosive (called compresion stroke)

Ignition fires JUST after TDC of piston and then forces piston down again (this is call the power stroke)

Piston travels back up as exhasut vavle opens just after BDC bottom dead center (exhaust)

End of cycle now it repeats drawing fule back in on its way down.

Intake
Compresion
Power Stroke
Exhaust

See if your on exhaust and poping out exhaust your way off.

Do what you know is right with a 4 stroke.

Get #1 piston TDC (top dead center). Now rock the crank back and forth till you JUST feel (using a wooden handle spoon put in spark plug hole works) the piston lower. Now have it at just after TDC is what Im saying. Piston at top JUST starting down, maybe 1/10 of a inch at most. HERE is where it should fire! To be technical its about 10o after TDC which is common and good enough to start about anything. From there you need to fine tune it of course.

To verify your in right order and not 180 out you can continue checking by eye with vavle cover off. Your at TDC just ready to fire one, move piston down entire way On way back UP the exhaust vavle should open. Garunteed you NOT out of order then.

When all else fails go with what you know and that is how all 4 strokes work.

2-1
4-3 PS: The rotor turns CW.

2-1
3-4 PS: Viewed from the cap as the rotor turns CW.

Currently I have the number one wire on the upper right corner ( as if this was a square ) and rotated around clockwise placing the wires in there firing order. So theres a chance that isn't the number one place holder.

Here's a picture of a mag and No1 plug wire is around 1 o'clock. You can see the plug wires going to plugs in the correct firing order. Don't get shook up about an ignition coil in the picture. The mag was converted to a distributor.

You need to have No1 piston to TDC on the compression stroke and see where the rotor is pointing. Hal

This is how I have mine wired up. Although It appears your cap is turned more than mine. About an inch. I'll have to bring number 1 up and start from there. I'm not sure when I bring number 1 up should the points be open or closed?

Don't worry about the points as long as they're set at .013". Bring No1 piston to TDC on the compression stroke and then see where the rotor is pointing. You need a helper, one to watch the screwdriver rise after you feel compression against your thumb and one to slowly hand crank the engine. Once the piston is at TDC ( its there when it quits rising) look to see where the rotor is and also the notch on the damper pulley
should be at the pointer.

If the notch is off you may have a sheared woodruff key on the cam gear. No1 piston and the
notch (timing mark) are all related in an engine.
Not only is your ignition related, but your valves
too. If the key happens to shear it will throw off the valve timing too. Hal
PS: Here's an IH distributor and No1 plug wire goes in the top right hole of the cap.

Best thing is to start from scratch. While you're turning the engine with the cap off, check to make sure the points are opening and closing properly. When you get the engine to the top of the firing stroke on #1, put your rotor button back on. Where it lines up is where your #1 wire will go. In case it's somehow got turned way out of time, you might try putting the cap on temporarily and mark the distributor body where the tower for #1 lines up, then remove the cap and make sure the rotor is pointing fairly close to that mark. If not loosen it up and turn the body until the mark lines up better with the rotor, then tighten ity back down beofre putting the rest of the wires on your cap and closing her up.

1-3-4-2, clockwise

I'm starting to think something is up with the timing. I'll try moving all the wires over 2 hops. Maybe it's out 180 degrees. Like one of the fellas said.

Correct firing order is 1-3-4-2. If I'm reading your post correctly, you've got 3 and 4 crossed.

Get #1 onto the post on the cap as marked, and go clockwise around the cap, viewed from the outside of the cap.
