[FC] trouble starting GB....

[Dennis & Debbie PLEAU]

The piston is at TDC twice, once on the compression stroke and once on the 
exhaust stroke, you must make sure you are on compression, if you are on the 
exhaust stroke, the distributor is 180 degrees out.  When it is180 degrees 
out it is firing the #2 spark plug when #1 has the compressed fuel charge 
and visa versa.
