Hi All, is zero degrees on the flywheel tdc on compression for #1 cylinder or do i need to rotate cam 180 degrees. Trying to get my tractor back to life and second guessing myself. I have re-wired the entire ignition and verified voltage at coil and spark at plugs but it hasnt fired up yet. Want to verify before moving on to carb.
Thanks.

The 0 mark on the flywheel is TDC for #1 cylinder on both compression and exhaust stroke. It is your job to determine which stroke the piston is on. Remove the #1 spark plug and hold a finger or compression gauge in the hole. Turn the engine over and when air blows your finger (or the gauge) out of the hole the piston is on the compression stroke.
