I would still look down no 1 plug hole and get valves rocking on the backstroke and see if your mark is exactly as you posted it post 20.

Then you can diss the cam timing and move on .

Rotate the crank 360 so that both marks are lined up.

This is TDC firing on #1.

Then check your plug wires are correct.

After you are sure you have cam and igntion timing correct, and a good spark at plugs, are you pouring a little gas down carby and then spinnng engine over with throttle wide open?
