    gs850 rebuild

    hi everyone
    i have a question i feel a little shy over
    i bought a motor in bits ,
    and trying to put it together myself and trying
    to find out if you have #1 piston at highest point for tdc .
    or just follow the mark on ignition shaft .

    many thanks

    stick a rod or pencil through the sparkplug hole and follow the piston up and down as you rotate the crankshaft. Do this several times and you'll be able to tell the TDC of the crank.
