Joe thank you for that diagram. That is very helpful. I see it labels port and starboard and shows the plugs. That means when behind the motor looking at the heads, cylinder 1 and 2 are up top and 3 and 4 are at the bottom, with 1 and 3 starboard side and 2 and 4 at the port side correct? That diagram of the cap, is that looking at the cap from the rotor side or the plug wire side? Also can you tell me which side of the cap is up and which side is down? Some plug wires were off when I got to the motor, so I’d like to confirm the right wire is on the right plug as well.
Thank you all again very much.
