The mark on teh flywheel can be divilishly hard to find. The other method that will get you close enough for government work is to pull all your plugs. If you have a hand crank, great, useit. If not bump it on the starter and finish up by using teh fan blade to turn the engine.
Where you want to wind up is on the upstrooke of the #1 (front) piston. You want the compression stroke, so you will be able to feel it pushing air out if you jam your thumb over the plug hole. Keep turning the same direction (clockwise when looking from the front) until you can see the piston come up as high as it will go, looking through the plug hole with a light. When it appears to be about the top use a skinny screwdriver or a 6" piece of stiff wire. Put the tip of the screwdriver or wire through teh plug hole so that it rests on top of the piston. Then use the fan to rock the motor back and forth until the handle or the end of the wire is at its lowest point. That will happen when the piston is at the top, which is where you want to be.
If you pull the cap on your mag, it should be pointing to the #1 plugwire, which is an important piece of information for when you analyze things and go to put it all back together.
