The way it was, the guy said he had tried ether to get it running, hoping that the fuel pump would creat enough pressure that way to unstick the needle or whatever the problem was there. Thing is he said that even with the ether he couldn't get it to fire. Like I said, I pulled the plug on number 1 and put the engine as close to TDC on one as I could get it without raising the cab and looking for the timing marks, and then looked at where the rotor button was pointed. It matched up with what the book said about number one being in line with the notch in the cap.
