There is a TDC mark on the timing cover do i set the keyway to that mark and then set the copper links to the sprockets?? or do i just remove spark plug to number one cylinder and then set it to where its right between comiing up and going back down and then set the timing from there?? Cuz i keep having trouble with the timing not sure what it is that im doing wrong it turns on but rough slight back fire just not sure what exactly is that im doing wrong im lining up the marks with chain and with the sprockets but still runs rough...
