Thanks Manfred. I stopped by the shop today and watched him set it up with #1 on the compression stroke then roll the engine over and watched the fuel spurt out and the timing mark stop at 24 degrees. Does this mean it is in the proper range? The weird thing is the mechanic had supposedly installed the pump at 180 opposite. He said he did this by setting up the pump normally and setting engine at 180. He was then going put things back together and give it a try. I had to leave at that point Mike
