Thank you for your reply...
Though the Cap is not oriented so there is a wire at the top. Though
there
is a Wire that is at the place where the 'key' is on the cap to align it
to
the rest of the thing. So is that the '1' I should start with? Then
Clockwise?
the Plugs are labeled on the housing around the engine, I'm guessing they
should correspond to the same scheme?
RE:"most old-time mechanics usually get it by trial and error"
I think this is the first engine that I've ever really done work
on.
(-; Is that bad at 34?
Thanks,
