So I went back to basics in me chasing a misfire.
Dizzy cap looks fairly new , no signs of ware on the copper points , dizzy button has no burn or heat stress, button looks fairly new also.
I did new plugs and wires already.

I am holding off from removing the carbie as it will mean spending good cash on a 2 barrel carb, which, if it's not the problem it a simple waste of time and money.

I have removed the valve covers, and everything is in place, I was hoping to find a broken something.

Now I have to check out if the timing has jumped a tooth.
So the bush mechanic in me says
Number 1 @ TDC should see the tappets rocking,

It can be on 1 of 2 rotations of the crank, the piston coming up closing the exhaust, and then opening the intake valve .
At that point, the timing mark on the balancer will line up with marks on the engine, am I correct?

Any tips on doing this single-handed ?
