RE: hesitating, back fireing, and no power
Everyone is trying to tell you to make sure the #1 cylinder is top dead center....
use a 15/16 socket and turn the crank until you feel a gust of wind come out of the #1 spark plug hole... use something like a straw to stick inside.... disconnect spot connector on distrubutor, etc.... etc...
