Just like the instructions said is how you did it?Fine,now where is the rotor pointing when you are at TDC?It needs to be a tiny bit past number one.To figure that out,like I said mark the position on the mag where number one is on the cap,but mark it on the mag,pull the cap,is the rotor pointing to the mark,before or past?If its not past,try to turn the mag until its past a little,put the cap back on,wire according to firing order.I would turn the motor over while the cap is off to see which way the rotor turns.When you dont know for sure,never assume anything.If you do this it probably will start with a crank.Now by it being a different mag,if when you check TDC on number 2 cylinder,pull the cap off the mag and if it points to just a little past number 2 on the cap,it should run.It might need some fine tuning,but it should run if you get 2 cylinders on TDC with a rotor pointing past the lug for that cylinder,you have dry plugs and good enough gas it should run.If when you have TDC on number 2 and its pointing somewhere else,you might have problems,but it still might run if you can wire it right.I have never worked on a mag,so I dont know a lot about them,except they do the job of a distributor.Most motors fire at a little before top dead center,which is why the rotor should be pointing a little past the lug.6 degrees out of 360 is not much,but you should be able to see its past the lug.
