There's a TDC between at the end of the compression stroke, just before firing and there's one between inlet and outlet... If you accidentally get the second one (like we did :-( ) you'll get backfires on either the exhaust or the inlet, depending on your timing... Take OFF the dizzy, turn the crank ONE turn and re-time, chances are that's all... Good luck, Jan van de Wouw Thinking Different... Using a Mac... Living the Dream...
