you need to make sure that the rotor arm is aligined with the plug lead no.1.

It's easy to get it 180 degrees out of phase, resulting in back-firing through the inlet.

Anywhere you like!

If you dont have any reference - the best thing is to start from scratch:

Take the right hand rocker cover off and observe the inlet and exhaust valves opening and closing. Manually turn the engine around, once the inlet valve closes - the next TDC is No.1 Firing position.

Align the rotor with a tower on the cap - this will become No.1 (make sure there is enough room to swing the dizzy around either side of that to set the final timing)

Then in a clockwise direction add the rest of the HT leads in firing order.
