Trying to get aa's "fossil" to run well. Confused about timing a 1.8. We have found a red mark on the impeller. Is that TDC or the 7.5 BTDC mark? Haynes says it should be timed at about 900 rpm with vac. retard line disconnected and plugged. I seem to recall that there is also a black mark. Haynes or some such source says there is only "one" mark. Right now we have it timed at the red mark and it won't idle.
HELP!
