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?
