Do they fire while you are running the engine?
Do they fire while you are running the engine?
Top right is #1 top left is #2, bottom right is #3 bottom left #4. You could pull all of your spark plugs and take a pencil, with the eraser end insert it in to #1 cylinder, manually spin the flywheel until the pencil is almost pushed out of the cylinder. That will be top dead center or #1. Look at the top of the flywheel and see if the embossed marks are lined up with the timing pointer. Now take a piece of chalk or some white out and make a mark on the flywheel for that cylinder. Repeat the process for the remaining cylinders. Re-install all the plugs and start the motor. Let it get up to normal temp and attach a timing light to each plug wire and see if the mark show up on the flywheel when it is on the respective cylinders plug wire.

As posted in my previous reply......
You can check it by attaching a timing light to one plug lead at a time, be sure to route the timing light wires where they will not get caught in any rotating or moving parts and reinstall the motor cover, go for a ride and see what the light shows.
I will check the timing as soon as i can get a timing light it seems like when i replaced on of the coils before there was something about which coil connected to which wire from the power pack they have brown wires one with a blue tracer and one with a white how can i find out which wire goes to which coil??
The timing light will show you if each cylinder is firing.
Blue tracer is the top cylinder.
