Set the piston near top dead center of the cylinder
compression stroke (both valves fully closed) by pulling
the recoil starter slowly. When the piston is near top

If the exhaust valve is open, use the recoil starter to turn
the crankshaft one additional turn and align the triangle
mark on the starter pulley with the top hole on the recoil
starter case again.
