Spica

["Jeff Thraen" <Jeff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I finally got my 1750 back after 9 months!

Tonight I installed the Spica pump. When I put the pump belt on, the manual
said to line the marks up on the pump and pulley and set the crank to 80
degrees ATDC indicated by the "I" mark on the pulley. It said that the first
cylinder should be on the "induction stroke" and that I would see the intake
valve open through the plug hole. None of this was possible. First of all,
the "I" mark is on the crank pulley at what I would say is 80 degrees BEFORE
TDC! I tried rotating the crank through two complete revolutions and at no
time was the "I" mark lined up while the intake valve was open.

I ended up putting the belt on with the "I" mark lined up during the
compression stroke. I hope this is correct.

Any feedback would be helpful, especially if I did it wrong!
