your timing is off, rotor should point to number 1 on your dist cap with number one piston TDC on compression stroke. also check your firing order on yor cap

Oh, and how do i find TDC? I heard you can replace the spark plug with tissue and turn the crank until it pops out, can anyone confirm this?

thatll work... also on your damper look for TDC the pointer should be directly above the markings TDC
