When you say putt a couple times, do you mean just a couple of chugs. If you've shot some ether in there it should have actually run for about 2 seconds and spun up pretty good in the process. If it's just getting putts or a couple of pops, the following may apply. If it's running a bit, this doesn't. Gotta go refresh my memory on the timing process but it almost sounds like you may be off a bit. If you get very close, starting fluid usually has made mine go ballistic quickly. I think I would ignore the mark and manually find TDC Compression then set distributor postion. Point rotor so number one is just getting ready to open the points. I cant remember the direction but it's pretty clear in the manual I think. The reason I'm thinking this could be it was that I had a C with a B-125 flywheel and it wasn't marked. I start using a long straw to monitor TDC while I'd slowly crank after getting compression blowing at me. I use a pressure fitting and hose so I can operate the crank and monitor. Some one once told me they use a balloon on the end of the hose, never tried it! Ok, just went to the shop. CA Manual shows pointing rotor just a hair past the battery lead, points cam should be almost there, it says go direction of rotation or counter clockwise till the points just start to break. Definitely need to make sure they DONT open BTDC. Sorry but I only have mag engines out there just now and sold my CAs 5 years ago and my memory isn't that good. Maybe someone else can elaborate.
